Why are the current approaches to mental health not working for young people?

Because we're asking the wrong question:

   The question shouldn't be 'Why the challenging behaviours?',  

but rather 'What is the underlying issue beneath these behaviours?'

A New Approach to Youth Mental Health & Reconnection 

We are focusing on the iceberg when we need to focus on the ocean. We are treating the symptoms when we need to be treating the underlying problem


In our overstimulated society the concept of authentic self expression faces many challenges, hindering a young person's ability to fully embrace their unique individuality. Social media, constant distractions, and technological advances steer them away from cultivating genuine connections with self and others. 

​

These factors contribute to mental and emotional distress, creating an environment where extreme anxiety, stress, depression, disengagement from school, and addictive behaviours can thrive.

 

Magic Beyond Words (MBW) was born from a deep desire to address these challenges. 


To effect enduring transformation, foster mindset mastery, emotional resilience, and promote continued engagement, it is imperative that we attain a comprehensive understanding and a trauma informed awareness of the roots of this affliction.

 

By delving deep into the origins of this phenomenon, and treating mental health challenges from that point, we can lay the foundation for a lasting paradigm shift and cultivate a state of mental well-being within ourselves and young people that endures over time.

 

Mental health is not a destination - it's a journey. 

For Young People

​​
The mental health landscape for young people is increasingly challenging. Current statistics reveal that one in four young individuals experiences an anxiety disorder, while self-harm behaviours have dramatically increased by 200% over the past decade. These alarming trends underscore the critical need for comprehensive mental health support.
​​

Testimonials

Bex Rasmus (parent and High School teacher)

I had some huge realisations at this workshop about the way our culture has handled (or rather, not handled) trauma, addictions, identity crisis and supporting those in pain. I learned so much about how big this problem is, but also how simple the solutions can be once we have the knowledge and tools.
I am so relieved and hopeful to see someone like Jazzmyn sharing her passion and her personal and professional experience around these topics in a way that is incredibly supportive for older teens, young adults, and really – all of us!
