iGen Resilience

Navigating the myriad challenges confronting today’s youth requires a multifaceted approach encompassing education, mental health support, and community engagement.

According to a 2021 survey by the World Health Organization, approximately 10-20% of adolescents worldwide experience mental health conditions. To address this, initiatives promoting mental well-being in schools, such as mindfulness programs, have shown positive impacts on stress reduction and academic performance.

Renowned psychologist Jean Twenge, in her book “iGen,” underscores the importance of fostering face-to-face social connections to counteract the negative effects of excessive screen time on mental health.

Empowering youth with a robust support system that includes both technological literacy and emotional intelligence is important in mitigating the challenges they face in an ever-evolving world.
