Felicia Low: Informed Futures Research Author on the concerns over young New Zealander's ability to handle adversity - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

There are concerns over young New Zealanders' ability to handle adversity. 

New figures show more than 21% of 15 to 24 year olds face psychological struggles. 

It's prompted calls for more to be done to build resilience in children, starting at early childhood centres through to high schools. 

Dr Felicia Low is behind the report and told Mike Hosking the numbers are deeply troubling. 

She says we know young people aren't doing well, and we have to act on it.
