Teens & Mental Health with Dr Neil Forrest & Dr Sanveen Kang

The pressure of being “perfect” In today’s society is taking a toll on our kids’ mental health. Some have been good at hiding their issues from their parents, while others simply fall apart. We’re here to help!

In this session, Dr Neil Forrest from Osler Health International and Dr Sanveen Kang from Psych Connect will provide insights into how poor self-image can lead to self-destructive behaviours in teenagers. The teen journey has never been smooth; however, current times only seem to have increased the insidious pressures on our children. Why is self-image so important to growing minds? In this talk, we will be seeking to answer that question and many more:

* How do we support the development of a positive self-image for our children?
* What are the signs that something is wrong?
* How can we identify eating disorders?
* What are some common self-harm practices and how can we identify them?
* What steps can we take to support our children?
* What are the treatment options?
