À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
In today's episode of Ask Dr. Louise podcast, Dr. Louise interviews Jack Vaughn, COO of Youth Prevention Mentors (YPM), about how he entered youth mentoring and case-support work. Jack describes struggling as a rebellious student, later pursuing self-understanding and psychology, and how caring for his father during a serious cancer battle and learning from his mother’s recovery coaching prepared him for high-acuity support roles. He recounts his first major YPM case—joining a barricaded young man using an invitational approach and motivational interviewing, ultimately accompanying him to a distant behavioral health treatment center—and how that work led to ongoing collaboration with Dr. Louise and Max. Jack also discusses a later case involving addiction recovery, traumatic loss, and academic collapse, which prompted him to develop an executive-functioning curriculum focused on initiation, follow-through, grit, and self-control. He shares plans to expand this work through Launch Go, a separate virtual coaching service paired with a productivity platform (currently soft-launched in beta) designed to support clients at the “point of performance,” and he provides a phone number for families seeking help.
