We need to get to this place where we're trying to somehow bridge the gap from The Millennial Generation Z to gen x, to the baby boomers.
Ever wondered what it's really like for today's young people navigating mental health challenges in schools? Drew Prendergast, a School-Based Prevention & CPST Provider for CommQuest Services, dives into this very topic on 'Hope Discovered'. This episode, titled 'Backing This Generation', sheds light on the unique hurdles faced by today's youth and the unfair labels often slapped on them, like being 'entitled' or 'fragile'. But there's so much more to this generation than meets the eye.
Prendergast highlights the resilience, acceptance, and passion that define many young people today. He discusses how technology shapes their reality, sometimes blurring the lines between the virtual and the real world. Yet, despite these challenges, today's youth are incredibly driven to make a positive impact. The conversation also touches on the importance of breaking down mental health stigma and building meaningful connections with students.
By fostering these positive attributes and bridging generational gaps, we can support a more accepting and influential generation. Tune in for an insightful and compassionate discussion that not only addresses the struggles but also celebrates the strengths of today's young people.
