The change that has happened is that there was a way in which, certainly in my own generation, that- and I'm just to say that students that we were- it was reinforced that going to college meant that it was this period of exploration, but it certainly wasn't a kind of emotional journey that one is taking, that you should be open to whatever comes your way.
Youth suicide is an alarming issue, now the second leading cause of death among young people. Dr. Linda Mills, Vice Chancellor and Senior Vice Provost at New York University, dives into this critical topic on Recovery Radio. As both an academic and filmmaker, Dr. Mills brings a unique perspective to understanding why this tragic trend is on the rise.
She explores whether suicide can be 'caught' and discusses the emotional challenges that students face during college, which are now more widely recognized than ever before. Dr. Mills emphasizes the importance of mental health research in helping individuals manage their well-being differently. She also sheds light on the contagion effect of suicide, stressing the need for effective prevention strategies to guide people towards healthier paths. With her insightful discussion, Dr.
Mills aims to provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the mental health crisis among youth and the crucial steps needed to address it. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about youth mental health, whether you're a parent, educator, or simply someone who wants to make a difference. Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical advice on how we can all contribute to preventing youth suicide.
