Unseen Struggles Amidst Celebrated Excellence
In an age where academic excellence is often celebrated, the silent struggles of our youth remain obscured. Beneath the veneer of achievements, many teenagers grapple with the pressures of an increasingly complex world. A staggering reality reveals itself, most mental disorders develop during childhood and adolescence, impacting lives significantly before age 25, according to the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (IAPCAPAP). A quarter of young people’s years are affected by mental and substance use disorders.
Empowering Inclusive Learning
“Empowering Inclusive Learning: Preventing Teenage Self-Harm and Building Resilience” – a webinar by LearnX is set to illuminate this pressing issue. Scheduled for 6th September 2023 at 5.30 pm MYT, the event assembles a distinguished panel of experts to discuss and dissect the complexities of teenage mental health.
Leading the Discussion: Dr. Daniel Fung, CEO of IMH Singapore and Notable Experts
At the forefront of this panel is Dr. Daniel Fung, the CEO of Institute of Mental Health Singapore, renowned for his work in mental health advocacy. Alongside him are the Managing Director of LearnX, Chandrakant Singh, Principals of DPS Faridabad and DPS Bangalore North, Sangeeta, an experienced educator, and Anurag Tripathi, the Secretary of CBSE.

Teenagers today navigate a landscape laden with academic expectations, societal pressures, and a digital realm that exacerbates the challenges of self-identity. Behind their façades, they bear emotional burdens that often go unnoticed. This webinar seeks to amplify their voices, to engage in a candid conversation about the struggles they face, and to collectively explore ways to empower them.
Creating an Environment of Well-being for Youth
While statistics highlight the gravity of the issue, it’s crucial to remember that each figure represents a life, a story, and a potential. Empowering our youth to build resilience is not a solitary task, it’s a collaborative mission that involves educators, parents, policymakers, and society at large. By acknowledging the challenges, we pave the way for open discussions and meaningful interventions.
“Empowering Inclusive Learning: Preventing Teenage Suicide and Building Resilience” is more than just a webinar; it’s a call to action. It’s an initiative that encourages dialogue, fosters understanding, and initiates change. As we collectively strive to create an environment that nurtures the emotional wellbeing of our youth, this webinar serves as a vital stepping stone.
