Calm & Connected Podcast
As parents, we are concerned that our kids and teens may engage in high risk behaviors as they grow up. How can we, as parents, encourage our children away from engaging in these high risk behaviors? Or, if they are already doing any of these behaviors, how can we encourage them to stop them?
In today’s episode, we discuss:
- Dr. Collier’s work in addiction and adolescence development
- How your brain can change and the affect you can have on your reactions
- How parents can reduce high risk behavior
- How to keep lines of communication open between parent and child
- Chatting with your child with framework, ‘We feel, we deal and we trust.’
- Finding coping skills and strategies
- How Dr Collier likes to rest and relax

Prevention Leaders
Brain-Based Prevention: What Every Parent and Educator Needs to Know. When it comes to substance misuse prevention, we often focus on the “what”—the substances themselves. But as Dr. Crystal Collier explains in her conversation with Dave Closson on the Prevention Leaders Podcast, the real focus should be on the “how”—building the skills necessary to navigate challenges, make healthy choices, and develop resilience. In this episode, Dr. Collier shares her expertise in neuroscience, prevention research, and therapy to explore how prevention professionals, educators, and parents can help kids and young adults strengthen their executive functioning skills and avoid risky behaviors.
