27. Why Does Our Generation Suffer From Such High Levels of Mental Health?

Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast, if you are new here welcome, great to have youToday’s episode is a relaxed and easy to listen to conversation about why Gen z’s and Millenials suffer from high levels of mental health problems.A recent study shows 70% of senior high school students report the need to see a mental health professional and I am sure you can see this with the people you hang out with.So why is this? What is different about our generation? Did other generations suffer from this? Are we just weak or is there more at play here?I discuss this and more with today’s guest Clint Adams a former police officer and counsellor who helps teams and individuals with resilience and mental healthHe is also the author of “igniting the blue flame” a book exploring teen suicide going into the mind of someone suffers from mental health problems.I hope you enjoy this episode and make sure to leave a review if you got some value out of it.Follow Clint: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clint-adams-40703724/His Book: https://www.amazon.com.au/Lighting-Blue-Flame-Clint-Adams/dp/1528913973Check out Driven young on social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ByronjDempseyByron Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/HSC Round Table Sessions Aimed at lost and confused HSC students this is a virtual event linking you to uni studentsSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

I started the Driven Young Podcast as a way to help educate and inspire the younger generation. There are plenty of amazing podcasts out there but I find very few tailors their content to those in high-school and uni. Even the ones that claim they do seem to go off track and fail to keep their message clear and simple for the younger generation to understand.I believe our world is changing so fast, the current education system can’t keep up and is left teaching us old and outdated skills no longer relevant in the workplace.This podcast explores what I believe should have been taught in school and aims to help people realise the world is different from when their parents grew up and we must make relevant decisions based on the world we live in currently not the world people used to live in
