Ever wonder how to help your teen truly thrive after treatment? In this episode of Not By Chance Podcast, host Tim and guest Roger Knecht explore how a first job can build confidence, independence, and real-world life skills. They share practical strategies for guiding your teen from treatment back to everyday life — covering topics like choosing the right work environment, setting expectations, and encouraging a strong work ethic without hovering. You’ll also learn how to nail job interviews, appreciate the value of “not-so-glamorous” work, and build resilience through real-world jobs.
