Summary
In this episode, we’re joined by Dave Herz, Founder of Wonder and a leader in young adult transition support with over 25 years of experience working with teens, young adults, and their families. Dave has been a pioneer in aftercare and wraparound support, founding one of the first non-residential programs for young adults returning home from treatment. His work has helped shape best practices in supporting families through some of the most challenging transitions. In this conversation, Dave shares how to help young adults rebuild confidence after setbacks, why relationships must come before strategy, and how small wins create the foundation for long-term independence. We also explore the role of executive function in recovery, the connection between ADHD and higher-risk behaviors, and what parents should look for as signs of real progress. This episode is especially valuable for parents, educators, and professionals supporting students navigating anxiety, executive function challenges, or the transition back from treatment.
