Not By Chance Podcast

From Treatment to Employment: Setting Teens Up for Success | Roger Knecht

Dr. Tim Thayne

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.
