Understanding why: What young people wish we knew | Dr Dominique Thomspson | TEDxNewcastleCollege

When young people struggle with their mental health they often use coping
behaviours that can be difficult for parents and carers to understand. When they talk
to their GPs they comment that explaining their feelings to their parents can feel impossible.
This TEDx talk aims to look at some of these behaviours that parents find challenging,
and offers a new way for parents to empathise with their children. The hope is that
this will allow parents and carers to better support their young people’s mental
health, building their resilience for the future.
