Episode 4
In this episode Farheen, Helen and Asher focus on the importance of involving young people in developing the ideas and delivering the solutions to the combined issues of the mental health crisis and domestic abuse. He highlights the importance of curiosity.
Asher talks very passionately about the societal issues which leads to a discrepancy in the support available for men compared to women and the need to normalise talking about the issues and seeking support. Asher highlights the particularly unique upbringing young people today have, such as the power of social media - and how important it is to consider this medium in seeking solutions.
Drawing on his experiences with mental health Asher comments on the huge developments which have been made, the empowerment of recognising “it’s not just me [you]” and how something as small as a podcast can be inspirational - it was for him.
Finally Asher discusses how supporting victims to build up their mental health, self-esteem, develop coping mechanisms and emotional intelligence can encourage someone to seek help, and the unique opportunity provided by Nexgen Wellbeing for young people, by young people.
Inspirational Quote
For this episode, Helen took her inspiration from the beginning of the quote from Theoretical Physicist Stephen Hawking:
“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.”
