Adelle Deriquito on Building Resilience: The Importance of Youth Mental Health Education
“Why we should be implementing these at a younger age rather than, you know, waiting for therapeutic sessions that are Years Later after the traumatic experience.”
What if we could help children build resilience from a young age? In this episode of 'Mental Insights', host Brendan Cutuli sits down with Adelle Deriquito to explore the critical role of youth mental health education. Adelle passionately discusses how early education about childhood trauma can make a world of difference. She believes that understanding and addressing trauma early on can prevent many mental health issues later in life.
Adelle also emphasizes the importance of co-regulation with children, which means helping them manage their emotions by providing a calm and supportive presence. This approach, she argues, is far more effective than punitive measures, which often do more harm than good. Instead of punishing students for behavior rooted in trauma, Adelle advocates for creating safe and connected school environments where children can thrive.
Throughout the conversation, the need for more open discussions about mental health and the availability of resources and support is highlighted. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone interested in fostering mental well-being in young people.
