A podcast for adults, parents and teachers revealing how young people – in their own words – found their way and what made a difference.
We hear it all the time: teenagers today are in crisis. From mental health struggles and screen addiction to rising truancy and disengagement from their education. But what if that’s not the whole story?
In Shift Happens, psychotherapist, former teacher, and Jamie’s Farm co-founder Tish Feilden is in conversation with young people we hear a lot about but don’t often hear from; raw, moving accounts of teenagers who were not succeeding within the school system, only to turn their lives around. She explores with them exactly what it was that made the difference.
These are young people who’ve faced serious challenges – growing up in care, being on the verge of school exclusion, special educational needs – but found a new path through connection, nature, purpose, and belonging. With honest conversations and insights into how the teenage brain works, this series provides stories of transformation and hope, as well as practical tips to help the young people in our own lives to thrive.
Join Tish to understand the inner workings of the teenage mind and equip yourself to support the young people in your care or education setting.
