53. Mental Illness with Gen Z from a Student Counsellor | What is she seeing?

Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast and today I am joined by student counsellor Olivia Gabriella. And in this episode, we are talking about mental wellbeing, how and why Gen z are going through a pandemic of mental illnesses.This is a hot topic on this show because I believe it is one of the biggest problems young people are facing right now. Every young person I meet seems to have a form of mental illness or knows many people who do, so why is this?Today we go into Olivias story, why she does what she does, what she is seeing with the students who come to her, why men have such high rates of suicide, we get into school, have a healthy conversation around relationships for gen z and much much more....Also I am excited to announce I have landed my first sponsor for this podcast, so that episode will be coming out soon and I am really excited to see what you all think. This is a big for the show as the more money I can bring in the more I can reinject back into the podcast and business to help it grow and reach more people, so keep an eye out for that!As per usual, reach out to me or Olivia on insta if you have any questions or are enjoying the show, please considering leaving a rating or review on Apple podcasts and finally I have created a buy me a coffee link for anyone who wanted to help support the show, so if you want to buy me a coffee and help support the show just click on the link at the very bottom of the description.Follow Olivia: https://www.instagram.com/oliviagabriella1/Follow Byron:Byrons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/FREE Ebook Download: https://drivenyoung.com/stocks-101/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

I started the Driven Young Podcast as a way to help educate and inspire the younger generation. There are plenty of amazing podcasts out there but I find very few tailors their content to those in high-school and uni. Even the ones that claim they do seem to go off track and fail to keep their message clear and simple for the younger generation to understand.I believe our world is changing so fast, the current education system can’t keep up and is left teaching us old and outdated skills no longer relevant in the workplace.This podcast explores what I believe should have been taught in school and aims to help people realise the world is different from when their parents grew up and we must make relevant decisions based on the world we live in currently not the world people used to live in
