Why awareness isn’t enough | Lena Kalotihos | TEDxDesignTechHS

Change is all around us and within us, whether we like it or not. But how does change really work? In honor of May’s National Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to emphasize how the concept of awareness is often a hyper emphasized step in the process of change, and how there’s actually much more to change than just that. Through my own turbulent journey with mental health, I would ultimately discover the three A’s of change: awareness, acceptance, and action. Lena is a San Francisco native, coffee aficionado, semi-professional photographer, and a first-year psychology student at Sarah Lawrence College in the greater NYC area.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
