OVERVIEW

With added pressures of COVID-19 and social media, research shows that many teens are struggling to cope with school and life challenges. Mental health issues, such as anxiety and eating disorders, addiction and depression have become more common, and the incidents of bullying, self-harm and suicide have increased. It doesn’t have to be this way.

In this engaging, interactive, and impactful session, Daniel will unpack the 5 MONKEYS shaping poor mental health in young people, drawing upon research and his experiences working with thousands of students. Daniel will empower educators with PRACTICAL STRATEGIES to equip their students with the skills, mindsets, and “muscle” to get the monkeys off their back and thrive in school and in life.

“You came to my school today and I just wanted to say thank you. I had a really stressful and overall bad year last year. I really needed to hear what you said. My brain hasn’t been able to keep up with everything and I need to get those damn monkeys off my back so bad. Because of your speech, I can finally figure out a way to breathe. Thank you so much.”
