What is Happening to our Kids - The Current Crisis of Wellbeing

What's happening to our kids? How is it that, in this time of relative prosperity, with children being more educated than ever, with knowledge now at our fingertips, children are becoming increasingly more troubled? How is it that, in an age when children are finally being seen and heard, when parenting is more child-centered than ever, when schools are finally prioritizing the well-being of children, their suffering is increasing? We have never had more mental health professionals, more advocacy and literacy around mental health, or more mental health services available to us. What are we missing here?! Do we just need to try harder with what we are doing, or do we need to rethink the problem and change our approach?

In this presentation, we will unravel this alarming epidemic, tracing the symptoms back to their developmental roots. Only when we understand how troubles evolve can we even begin to hope to address their roots, whether it is individually or societally. We have largely been battling against symptoms with little insight to guide us, led by the prevailing doctrine of disorder paradigm and its league of practitioners. The battle has been earnest but has nevertheless proven futile in stemming the tide of unwellness. Never has a fresh new approach to mental health been more needed.
