What’s it like to grow up in Generation Z? Often labeled as the lonely generation, the young adults of our society grew up in a confusing time, warping their sense of belonging, self, and community with the help of the Internet and social media. We spoke to Anaya, who is a beautiful soul and an open book. She gets in-depth about a topic we explored last week – suicide. She is a suicide-attempt survivor and she bravely told us about her struggles with mental illness and how she got help (with so much support from her mother). She also gives helpful tips for parents – from a child’s POV – on how to talk to your kids struggling.
Anaya was fortunate to attend a rehabilitation center and she shares what she learned from her time there and how listeners also struggling can add these options to their wellness toolkit.
In our previous episode, we talked to a mother whose son died by suicide. Let’s continue to learn and bring awareness to suicide, the second leading cause of death of our young generation.
