Pressure, Purpose & Mental Health

The world is moving faster and faster with a constant bombardment of impressions. Creating new mental health challenges for Gen Z. How does this all impact the mental health of us all? What is real and what is not? You have every opportunity to become more than your parents, yet you don't know where to go. You're looking for purpose, but where to start looking. The world feels like a bad soap opera, and no one understands. The gap between generations in terms of experience and felt reality has never been further apart. Challenges never before seen in this scale with social media, information overflow, fake news, and existential crises like the environment are hovering over. More importantly, how can we face the new challenges and move beyond feeling overwhelmed? This video combines life experiences from youth worldwide and 2 leading experts sharing their reflections on growing through challenges. Learn from others who share their lived experience facing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, identity, loneliness, abuse, and bullying. Let's learn from each other's experiences to face our own. Thank you to Aarron Daniel Walsh, Dumisani Moyo, Georgia May Anta, Noah, Nazia Khatun for sharing their lived experiences with us and a special thanks to the professionals Juan C.

We all face emotions and situations where we just want to escape and not feel. At least for a while, we can recharge before we return to our lives and try to cope. This is where addiction can get a hold of us, and for many it creeps up on us. Learn from people that have broken out of different types of addiction, and hear insights from Consultant Clinical Psychologist Anne Crawford-Docherty. Together they take you through the different aspects of addiction, sharing experiences from their own lives when their addiction controlled them. Hear why many of us use different substances to escape our emotions or challenges in life through their real experiences. See what moments made them re-evaluate if the positives of their escape outweighed the costs of their addiction. Anne shares the model called “the stages of change”, and the different people share how they managed to break out of their addiction, to create the new lives they wanted. Hear what they learned from the whole process and what they wish they knew when they still felt the need to escape life. This is a good introduction that can help you take steps to overcome your addiction or how to support another person on their recovery journey.
