We need to develop, as adults, ways of modeling for young people how to connect with those things in ways that are healthy.
Imagine facing the pressures of youth today—school, social media, and just growing up—while also battling mental health challenges. That's the focus of this episode of the CAMH Podcast. The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) has teamed up with Hudson’s Bay to launch an initiative called Game Changers, aimed at promoting mental health awareness among young Canadians. This episode brings together Dr.
Joanna Henderson, a CAMH Senior Scientist, Karleigh Darnay, the CAMH Youth Engagement Coordinator, and Corey Hirsch, a former NHL goalie turned mental health advocate. Together, they discuss the alarming rise in psychological distress among young people and the urgent need for better support systems. Corey shares his own journey from the highs of professional sports to confronting his mental health struggles, emphasizing the critical message that no one should suffer in silence.
The episode also introduces a digital hub designed to engage youth in meaningful conversations about mental health. Whether you're a young person grappling with these issues or someone who cares about them, this episode offers valuable insights and hope.
