Young people have a different perspective to life generally. Such a different worldview or life experience needs to be understood and appreciated.
I’ve been able to encounter and appreciate these different opinions as a mental health counsellor/therapist as well as a parent.
Youth + Emo ( youth and emotions)podcast deals with daily life encounters which have direct or indirect effect on mental or emotional well-being of young people.
This platform is hoped to highlight those life encounters and offer some advice and encouragement.
There is always a time when we all stand to be corrected. Nobody gets it right at all time. So making mistakes and missing the mark is what makes us human.
We also learn from mistakes( well, that is what is expected) and such learning makes us a better person in life. People who have excelled in life will tell you they have made so many mistakes and stumbled through many obstacles and huddles.
So when someone tells us we are not doing well or corrects us, we should not take it the wrong way if we want to be a better version of ourselves.
However criticism can be demeaning and a put down rather than helpful.
So the question becomes : WHEN DOES A CRITICISM OR CORRECTION , CONSTRUCTIVE RATHER THAN DESTRUCTIVE? HOW DO YOU DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN A GENUINE DESIRE TO MAKE YOU A BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF RATHER THAN A PUT DOWN OR DEMEANING?
This current episode of YOUTH+EMO describes 5 areas to explore to determine if a criticism or correction is meant well or just a ploy to attack your self-esteem and damage your confidence. Understanding the difference is important for a better mental health and well-being.

SUICIDE......IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!
Suicide is one of those topics that is still discussed in hushed tones. Any talk and discussion about suicide is uncomfortable and there is always a tendency to offer a one-sentence response and to move on to the next topic. There are so many questions that beg answers to the topic of suicide. I believe being comfortable to dwell on it and talk about suicide is part of a solution not a problem.
"So a quick series of questions for you as you listen to this episode of YOUTH+EMO:"
What do you know about suicide?
What is the suicide rate globally?
Does mental health issue means increased chance of suicide?
I hope this episode will answer some of your questions on suicide.
