Enough
Being a young person is hard enough, but when you add a global health crisis to the mix things are really tough. Before COVID-19, almost half of Australians aged 18-24 were experiencing moderate to high levels of psychological distress. And this had been on the rise for years. The pandemic has only made it harder. The OECD says the COVID-19 crisis has turned into a mental health crisis for young people. From The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, Enough is a podcast about mental health in young people, through the pandemic, and beyond. Young people tell us, in their own words, what’s going on for them, and how they’re dealing with it.
