Youth Mental Health: Ally MacLachlan on Education and Empathy

Addiction is about survival, at a certain point right, you'll do anything to get you know the food you need, the sleep you need.
What happens when a young person becomes a passionate advocate for mental health? In this episode of 'Tapping Into The Human', Ally MacLachlan, Director of the Youth Council at Adam's Apples, takes us through her family's journey with addiction and her mission to promote mental health literacy among youth. Ally's story isn't just about overcoming challenges; it's about transforming pain into a platform for education and empathy.
She highlights how crucial it is to break the stigma around mental health, especially for younger generations. With the pandemic intensifying feelings of isolation and anxiety among teens, Ally discusses the urgent need for targeted mental health education. Adam's Apples offers a safe space where young people can express themselves and grow, and Ally emphasizes the importance of communication between parents and their children.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that understanding and supporting mental health from a young age can pave the way for a healthier future. Tune in to hear Ally's inspiring journey and her vision for a more empathetic world.
