The Importance of Adolescence: Looking at the Mental Health of Teenagers
Minuri and Aleena are taking the reins of Paedsoc on a Pod for the last time! After an incredible year of 6 monthly episodes and running the program that won the 2024 TuneFM Show of the Year award, they will be stepping down as President and Vice President of the UNE Paediatrics Society and handing the show over to next year's Executive.
Aleena and Minuri have done a truly fantastic job and we look back on their time as show runners with immense pride and joy. They've covered a myriad of different topics relating to paediatrics and child health, produced 6 terrific episodes, and conducted some amazing interviews with health professionals.
Today's episode ends their time as hosts with a bang - they're talking about adolescent mental health and the importance of maintaining positive mental health during these formative years. They'll also be discussing some possible catalysts of poor mental health and how to seek help if you or someone you know is experiencing mental health difficulties.

Little Minds, Big Ideas: Exploring Childhood Development
Hi guys, welcome back to another episode of Paedsoc on a Pod! We are your hosts, Minuri & Aleena!!
This month, we explore the fascinating journey of cognitive and moral development in children. Starting off with Piaget’s stage theory and Vygotsky’s sociocultural approach, we discuss how kids learn and grow through interaction and cultural tools like language.
The episode features insights from key psychological experiments, such as the Still Face Experiment and the Bobo Doll Experiment, to illustrate how children absorb behaviours and understand the world around them. Wrapping up with a thought-provoking introduction to Kohlberg’s Heinz Dilemma, we invite you to ponder moral reasoning and tune in next month for a deeper dive into these ideas in the final episode of the year.
If you have any questions or topics you’d like us to cover, please connect with us on social media at UNE PAEDSOC on Instagram.
