How are you Feeling

I'm honoured and humbled to be invited to speak at the World Mental Health Forum, joining esteemed mental health experts from around the world. This event is a testament to the importance of collaboration and open conversation when it comes to mental health.

The World Mental Health Forum will be held virtually from October 3-10, 2024, with a week full of inspiring talks, workshops, and discussions aimed at promoting mental well-being globally. I'll be sharing my experiences, alongside 30+ incredible speakers who bring both academic and lived insights into mental health challenges.

If you're passionate about mental health or know someone who could benefit from this week-long event, I'd encourage you to attend. The forum will cover a wide range of topics, including teen stress, grief, caring for others, transforming pain into purpose, and much more.

I'm not convinced that parents are the right ones to talk to their kids about depression, anxiety and su***de, but it's much better than not talking about it.

Many parents were raised to largely suppress and repress their emotions rather than deal with them in the moment.

What would be better is to teach our kids how to identify, understand and learn how to process their emotions like the How Are You Feeling program currently promotes.
