Before we take a summer break, the East and West Learning Connections will have a panel discussion on Youth Mental Health among an experienced psychiatrist and a group of young people with their unique perspectives, ideas, stories, and experiences on June 24, 2021!
As a youth, have you experienced uncertain and risky moments of vulnerability at school or in life?
Do you crave for belonging at school?
Do you want to keep away from constant anxiety in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic as job prospects are uncertain?
Come and listen to what young people like yourself speak about self-identity, self-worth, and self-awareness. Get inspiration from their experience, share your own, and walk away with some advice from a caring psychiatrist, and youth mental health educator Who helps you explore Who You Are!
