ABOUT
I learned what actually motivates young adults by spending years mentoring them. Now I help parents do it.
Most families don't need another program. They need something at home to change.
Eight years in behavioral health
Mentor
I spent years mentoring young adults who didn’t want me there. That’s where I learned that the relationship is the most important part.
Family Coach
The first position where I was in the room with the parents and not just their adult child. It changed how I approach the work.
Case Manager
Therapists, psychiatrists, schools, courts, families. I saw how rarely those pieces talk to each other, and how much of the coordinating quietly lands on the parent.
Program Director
I ran a behavioral health program. So I know what a program can do, and I know what it can’t do once a young adult returns to a family system that hasn’t grown alongside them.
Admissions
I was the person parents called when they were deciding whether to send their adult child to a treatment program. Some of those families needed a program. A lot of them needed something at home to change first.
Most of the families I worked with had tried a program. What was missing was someone working with the parent on what happens every day in their home.
I'm David Gresham. I've lived in Colorado since 2009 and call Superior home, just outside Boulder. When I'm not coaching you'll find me on my motorcycle, on a trail, or at a campsite. Happiest outside.
My partner and I are always plotting the next trip, whether that's a long road trip with no fixed plan or somewhere new we've never been. When I'm not moving I'm usually reading. I like people who are still curious, still chasing the next thing, and I try to be one of them.
