Today Dr. Lisa Miller, professor, psychologist, researcher and author, sits down with us as we explore the profound connection between spirituality and mental well-being, particularly for teenagers. Amidst increasing feelings of disconnection and despair, the science is clear: a strong spiritual core can significantly reduce the risks of addiction, depression, and even suicide. We explore the compelling data showing that spirituality offers unparalleled protective benefits, and discuss practical ways for parents to nurture this in their children, including two amazing exercises you can bring home to your kids.
