Global Perspectives Conference Explores Young People’s Mental Health in a Changing World South Eastern Regional College (SERC), in collaboration with South West College (SWC), North West Regional College (NWRC), Northern Regional College (NRC), and international partner St Petersburg College in Florida, USA, is inviting students and staff to a series of online Global Perspectives Conference webinars examining the mental health challenges facing young people today.
The conference will bring together students, educators and professionals from across the UK, Europe and the United States to share insights, experiences and perspectives on two timely and important topics.
Nikki Rainey, Curriculum Manager, Health and Care at SERC said, “The first webinar, "Is the Modern World Making Young People More Vulnerable to Mental Health Problems?", will take place on Tuesday 17 November, followed by "The Pressure to Succeed: How Education, Employment and Social Expectations Affect People's Mental Health" on Wednesday 18 November. Both sessions will be held online via Zoom from 5.00pm to 6.15pm.
“The discussions will explore a range of issues affecting young people across the world, including increasing levels of anxiety and depression, social anxiety, low self-esteem, and the growing impact of peer pressure. Participants will have the opportunity to hear international perspectives, engage with thought-provoking discussions, and consider how different countries and communities are responding to the mental health and wellbeing needs of young people.”
The webinars are open to all students and staff and offer a unique opportunity to connect with peers and professionals from different educational and cultural backgrounds. Through this international collaboration, attendees will gain a broader understanding of global health and social care issues while exploring practical approaches to supporting mental health and wellbeing.
