Youth Mental Health in the COVID-19 Pandemic [SHOCKING]
Youth mental health has become an increasingly popular focus for society over the past two decades. Youth mental health in the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed this topic to a whole new level. Mental health issues in youth are increasing at an alarming rate. The two most common issues are youth depression and youth anxiety.
NBC News affiliate WJFW interviewed Mike Veny to gain a better understanding of what’s really going on.
Both depression in children and anxiety in children are subjects that Mike Veny understands well. As a child, he struggled with both. Nowadays, he’s a school motivational speaker who is on a mission to support people in receiving the gift of emotional wellness. He delivers high school mental health presentations live and virtually.
In this video, Mike says that journaling and doing a “brain dump” are good mental health activities for youth. Another thing that Mike recommends, which is not in this video is investing in youth mental health first aid.
Teen mental health issues are at an all time high right now so it’s critical that we get them the help they need in order to prevent teen suicide. This is why school mental health needs to become a top priority right now. Establishing and maintaining a solid school mental health program is necessary in order to give youth the support they need right now.
Ultimately, teen suicide prevention is not just a schools responsibility. It’s everyone’s responsibility. It’s important that all youth have mentally healthy adults in their lives. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, adults have been struggling with their own mental health and this is taking a toll on youth.
In his work as youth motivational speaker, Mike Veny is committed to helping children and teenagers navigate this uncertain time. He truly believes that if we are intentional about working together, we can through this difficult time and be mentally well.

http://www.TransformingStigma.com In this video, mental health speaker, Mike Veny, shares the story of how he met his personal trainer and nutritionist, Maik Wiedenbach. Maik has worked with him to develop a healthier lifestyle. Mike now has an exercise program and nutrition program that are both customized to the needs of his mental illness.
As a person living with mental illness, Mike Veny knows about the connection between mental health and physical health. In order to keep himself stable, Mike has routines, systems, checklists, and appointments that have forced him to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
To help with his depression, Mike takes coconut oil and fish oil in the morning. In addition, he makes it a point to exercise and get sunlight for at least a half an hour each day. As a mental health speaker, Mike is constantly on the road speaking at conferences and events around the world. Therefore, it’s imperative that he takes care of himself.
Mike Veny truly believes that connection between mental health and physical health is clear. However, focusing on your physical health alone isn’t part of a complete recovery. It’s important to constantly seek out professional help, too.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The WHO states that “there is no health without mental health.”
The Canadian Mental Health Association’s Ontario branch is leading in this area with two programs that target the connection between mental health and physical health.
Minding Our Bodies – a program aimed at promoting consistent exercise, sound nutrition, and health lifestyle decisions.
Diabetes and Mental Health Peer Support – program that supports people who have Diabetes and serious mental illness.

Understanding the Self Care Definition vs Escapism
Self-care is a popular buzzword these days, but do you really know what it means? Understanding the self care definition is important for your mental health.
In this video, I give a very specific example of the difference between self-care and escapism from a conference that I was attending as a mental health speaker in the past.
There are several common behaviors that people think qualify as self care but they’re actually escape behaviors. Escapism activities are not the same as self care and do not provide the same benefits for your mental health and personal development as self-care. But lots of people turn to these behaviors as a form of stress relief. This is why understanding the difference between the two is key to helping you learn how to do self-care in a way that works in your life.

How to Fix Mental Health in Schools – 2020 (True Story!)
Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how to schools can start to better support the mental wellness of their students (step-by-step).
In fact, in this video, I’m going to tell you exactly what would have helped me when I was struggling with mental health challenges in school.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
We have a serious problem with mental health within the United States and within our schools. Over the past 20 years, the youth suicide rate around the world has been declining except for in the United States where it has increased. That’s a problem.
And, it’s not just mental health in high school that needs to be addressed. As a young child, I was expelled from three schools. I was admitted to mental hospitals three times for extended stays, I self-harmed, and I attempted suicide. These experiences have provided me with a unique perspective now as an adult on how we can better address mental health in schools.
There are three things, which I discuss in more detail during the video, that I think schools can do to start to turn the situation around.
Everyone in the school community needs to take responsibility for mental wellness.
Cultivate a culture of self-care and teach social skills.
Educate everyone on mental wellness.
Many schools think they need to rely on things like grants for mental health in school in order to make a change, but there are many free resources that are readily available to everyone (see the link below).
Mental health awareness is the key factor needed to help make a change. We can’t just rely on things like screening for mental health in schools. We all need to take responsibility to make the change.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways to begin changing the mental health culture within your school in 2019.
