The Happiness Curve and the Youth

This September there was a Globe&Mail opinion piece talking about the trend of mental health diagnoses in today's youth. It is pretty popular to say that the kids nowadays seem to all be labelled with some sort of mental health problem that back in the day would have been just a kid being a kid. But back in the day the emotional needs and distress of many children were largely ignored or pushed aside. Have we gone overboard or are we finally realising and recognising the differences and challenges the youth face in their search to find happiness?

Please visit our resources website for the Globe&Mail opinion piece and some more articles. And here's a link to a discussion that was had on The Agenda.

Please post any other resources you may want to add to the conversation in the comment section for the event.
