Do young people just need to 'toughen up'?
Description
Content/trigger warning: mention of suicide
In this episode, Mandy, Head of Children and Young People at Everyturn, sits down with Pasha, Strategy and Development Director at Everyturn, to explore young people’s mental health. They discuss why today’s young people are more open about their mental health—and why that openness is such a positive step forward.
At Everyturn, we know that talking about how we're feeling can have a really positive impact on our own mental health, and often helps others feel more able to open up too. Opening up about how we feel can improve our wellbeing and help us access the right support when we need it most.
