Get on Their Turf with Dr. Suzanne Simpson Parent Plan B Support Your Teen’s Mental Health at Home When the System Fails with AnneMoss Rogers
Parent Plan B – Supporting Your Teen’s Mental Health When the System Fails with AnneMoss Rogers
When mental health supports aren’t available, too expensive, or impossible to access, what can parents do at home?
In this powerful episode of Get On Their Turf, Dr. Suzanne Simpson talks with AnneMoss Rogers: mental health advocate, TEDx speaker, and author of Emotionally Naked: A Teacher’s Guide to Preventing Suicide and Recognizing Kids at Risk. After losing her son Charles to suicide, AnneMoss turned unimaginable grief into a mission to save lives through education, compassion, and connection.
Together, Suzanne and AnneMoss explore what every parent needs to know when they’re waiting for help that may never come. You’ll learn how to build a “Plan B” that creates emotional safety and trust at home, even when the system feels broken.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• What parents can do when therapy isn’t available
• Early warning signs of concern versus “normal teen” behaviour
• How to create connection and safety in daily routines
• Ways to model vulnerability without oversharing
• How parents can rebuild trust and hope after crisis
If you’ve ever felt powerless watching your teen struggle, this conversation will help you find confidence and clarity in what you can do — right now, at home.
