According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, in 2022, more than one in three U.S. adolescents between the ages of 18 and 25 had some form of mental health disorder, including anxiety and depression. There's also a loneliness epidemic: Teens and adults are more connected than ever, yet, somehow, more alone. Kara and three panelists  explore how much blame should be placed on technology like smartphones, the impact of social media, whether the adolescent brain is inherently vulnerable, how artificial intelligence might shift the paradigm, and how parents and society at large could mitigate the problem. In this episode: Lauren Greenfield, artist, documentary photographer and filmmaker, who has been chronicling the lives of American adolescents for decades. Most recently, she created and directed Social Studies, an Emmy-nominated five-part docuseries for FX. Matt Richtel, a health and science reporter for the New York Times, who has long covered the social impact of the tech industry. His latest book, How We Grow Up: Understanding Adolescence, draws on neuroscience and personal narratives to explore the changing complexities of the teen brain and the role technology plays. Jack Thorne, playwright and screenwriter, whose recent Emmy-nominated Netflix hit Adolescence, co-created with Stephen Graham, examines the psychological toll of toxic masculinity, bullying and social media radicalization after a teenage boy kills his female classmate.

They discuss the impact of substance abuse on personal narratives, the challenges of sharing stories that involve others, and the significance of acknowledging pain and resilience. The conversation also touches on the dangers of toxic positivity and the need for a balanced perspective on reality. As they look ahead to the next mini-season, they encourage listeners to find joy in their lives and share their stories. Takeaways The women's circle is a powerful tool for support. Sharing your story fosters connection and understanding. Understanding oneself is crucial for personal growth. Acknowledging past trauma is essential for healing. Storytelling can help build resilience and peace. Toxic positivity can hinder genuine emotional expression. It's important to find a balance between positivity and negativity. Reality is often a mix of both good and bad experiences. Finding joy is necessary for mental health and well-being. Sharing experiences can help others feel less alone. Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Introduction to Season 12 01:55 The Importance of Community and Belonging 03:37 Reflections on the Season's Takeaways 05:18 The Impact of Substance Abuse on Personal Stories 09:18 Navigating Personal Narratives and Others' Stories 12:34 Acknowledging Pain and Growth 15:42 Finding Your Voice and Building Resilience 18:30 The Dangers of Toxic Positivity 23:22 Reality vs. Positivity in Storytelling 26:52 Looking Ahead: Season 12.5 and Joy Nuggets Did you enjoy this episode?

What's underneath the chaos when your teen or young adult is out of control? I may seem like they don't care about anything: school, their future, you. But what if underneath, there's a deep sense of fear, loneliness, and the desperate need to belong?As parents, we often only see the surface: defiance, shutdowns, risky behavior, silence. But there's always something underneath. And this conversation offers a rare and incredibly valuable glimpse inside the mind of a troubled teen who lived through it all, and came out the other side.This week, I'm joined by Enzo, a young man who spent years struggling with school refusal, substance abuse, and running away from treatment. After overdosing twice, he made a decision that changed everything. Today, Enzo works with teens in the very program he once ran from.You'll hear Enzo's story in his own words: honest, insightful, and full of perspective most parents never get to hear. If you've ever wondered what your teen is thinking or why they're making such dangerous choices, this episode will give you a whole new lens.In this episode on what goes on inside the mind of a troubled teen, we discuss:What Enzo remembers about being labeled a “behavioral” kid in elementary schoolHow early therapy, ADHD meds, and divorce shaped his internal worldThe pull of belonging, and why he clung to his new friend group, even when it meant breaking rulesHis decision to run from treatment and how his family tried to interveneThe two near-fatal overdoses that finally changed his mindsetThe surprising role of small, consistent goals in rebuilding his lifeWhy he now works in treatment, and what he's learned from helping teens just like he once wasWhat he wishes every parent knew about kids who are strugglingLooking for support?

Poet and performer Joss Barton shares how her gender journey began with an acid trip and how exploring pleasure through substances became part of her story. But it wasn’t until she began incorporating her experiences into her wild, hilarious performances that she started to break free from the stigma trans women often face around drug use and reassess her own relationship with it. That’s harm reduction, mama! In a raw and raunchy interview, Joss unpacks the highs and lows of getting high and horny, and how the U.S. government's escalating attacks on trans people are shaping her community’s use of chems.

On this episode of Grieving Out Loud, we're having an important one-on-one conversation with a key figure from President Trump's administration—someone deeply involved in shaping how our country responds to the addiction and mental health crisis.Right now, more than 48 million Americans are living with substance use disorder. Yet, the administration is proposing a $56 million cut to a federal grant that helps communities and first responders access naloxone—the life-saving medication that can reverse opioid overdoses.And that's just one piece of the puzzle. The so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” also includes Medicaid cuts that could dramatically affect addiction prevention and treatment across the country. Add to that a major overhaul of several federal programs that support substance use treatment, and there's a lot at stake.On this episode, we sit down with Art Kleinschmidt, head of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Who Killed Harvey Milk? The Assassination of a Gay Hero

On this installment of the Redacted History Podcast we take a look back at the life and accomplishments of Harvey Milk, a Navy Veteran and the first openly gay man to hold political office in America. We also look back at his untimely death, how that unfolded, and his legacy. June 18, 2025 – The Trevor Project received official notice yesterday that the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is initiating the closure of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services program within 30 days, effective July 17, 2025. Jaymes Black, CEO of The Trevor Project, released the following statement in response: “We received official notice that the Trump administration has ordered the closure of The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services program, effective July 17, 2025. This means that, in 30 short days, this program that has provided life-saving services to more than 1.3 million LGBTQ+ young people will no longer be available for those who need it. “This is devastating, to say the least. Suicide prevention is about people, not politics. The administration's decision to remove a bipartisan, evidence-based service that has effectively supported a high-risk group of young people through their darkest moments is incomprehensible. The fact that this news comes to us halfway through Pride Month is callous – as is the administration's choice to remove the ‘T' from the acronym ‘LGBTQ+' in their announcement. Transgender people can never, and will never, be erased. “Congress can still act to reverse this fatal decision. We are asking everyone to join the overwhelming public support for evidence-based crisis services, and urge Congress to act. Learn more by visiting TheTrevorProject.org/ActNow. In September 2022, The Trevor Project began providing its best-practice crisis services to LGBTQ+ youth through the 988 Lifeline. When individuals contact the 988 via phone, text, or chat, they are given the option to “press 3” or “reply PRIDE” to be connected with counselors trained specifically to assist LGBTQ+ contacts up to age 25. Initially, The Trevor Project served as the sole provider for the pilot phase of 988 LGBTQ+ youth specialized services, before transitioning to serve as one of seven centers that currently make up the LGBTQ+ Youth Subnetwork. The Trevor Project serves nearly 50% of the LGBTQ+ youth specialized services' contact volume. In 2024 alone, The Trevor Project directly served more than 231,000 crisis contacts, and trained and supported nearly 250 crisis counselors and operational support staff to support the 988 Lifeline. Previously, the LGBTQ+ Youth Subnetwork received up to $50 million in restricted federal funds to provide these life-saving services. The Trevor Project's supporters in the House and Senate advocated for the continued funding for these life-saving programs. The organization launched a petition to demand lawmakers protect LGBTQ+ youth and an Emergency Lifeline fundraising campaign. On June 2, 2025, more than 100 entertainment icons – across film, music, TV, sports, theater, comedy, fashion, culinary arts, and book publishing – joined The Trevor Project's sign-on letter to protect federal funding for LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention. If you or someone you know needs help or support, The Trevor Project's trained crisis counselors are available 24/7 at 1-866-488-7386, via chat at TheTrevorProject.org/Get-Help, or by texting START to 678678.
