Today’s children are growing up in a world that looks nothing like the one we knew: fast-paced, screen-saturated, and steeped in constant comparison. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in seven children and adolescents aged 10–19 lives with a mental health condition, with anxiety disorders among the most common, alongside depression and behavioural challenges.
From overscheduling and FOMO to digital overload and rising anxiety, we will unpack what it means to raise independent thinkers and ethical young people in a complex world. Together, we’ll explore strategies that nurture connection, calm, and healthy challenges – essential foundations for resilience, confidence and self-esteem.
Whether you are an educator, parent or someone who works closely with young people, join us for a grounded, research-informed conversation exploring the growing pressures facing tweens and teens today, and how to build a practical toolbox to help lessen anxiety and strengthen wellbeing.
