The Power of One Caring Adult: Why Relationships Change Everything

Some of the hardest conversations in schools involve substance use, stigma, and family complexity. In this episode our returning guests this episode are Dr. Emily Jenkins, Associate Professor & Canada Research Chair, University of British Columbia I Scientific Director, Wellstream/Bienamont: The Canadian Centre for Innovation in Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use in Vancouver British Columbia and Dr. Nathan Ngieng Deputy Superintendent of Abby Schools in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Nathan and Emily explore how educators can approach these moments with empathy, clarity, and care. We discuss why punitive responses often deepen harm rather than reduce risk. Through powerful real-life stories, the conversation highlights the life-changing impact of connection and trust. This episode dives into the importance of restorative, relationship-based responses to substance use in schools and we explore why knowing a student’s name, checking in daily, and staying connected can change life trajectories.
