Why is the rate of mental health on an alarming decline, especially amongst young people?

Technology/social media, overstimulation, an untrained inner critic, and lack of skills for genuine human connection. 

Why are the current approaches to mental health not working?

Because we are asking the wrong question:

   The question should not be 'Why the symptoms & behaviours?',  

but 'What is the problem underneath the symptoms & behaviours?'

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 our ability to fully embrace our unique individuality. Social media, constant distractions, and technological advances steer us away from cultivating genuine connections with self and others. The normal way of life markedly deviates from what is healthy and natural, making it difficult for us to express our true selves. In addition, our inner critic is at the forefront.

This all leads to feelings of mental and emotional distress, creating an environment where extreme anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviours can thrive.

 

Magic Beyond Words (MBW) was born from a deep desire to address this pervasive toxicity that can impact our culture, especially how it affects young people who may be vulnerable to its influence. 


To effect enduring transformation and foster mental mastery and emotional resilience, it is imperative that we attain a comprehensive understanding and heightened 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. 

Young People

1/4 young people have an anxiety disorder, and there has been a 200% increase in self harm behaviours in females over the past decade.
 
It is imperative that we foster mental health literacy, reduce the stigma of mental illness and create a safe environment that gives young people the tools and support to understand and self manage their depression, anxiety, social media distractions, addictions, peer pressure, and trauma. ​

  • Private counselling sessions.

Adults

To no fault of our own, we are unconsciously regurgitating things we have learned from our friends, family, and a toxic society. It is imperative we learn the sources from which our internal suffering emerge from, cultivate inner peace, and master the mind.  
 
  • Adult/Parent workshops for mindset mastery.

Change starts from within, and Magic Beyond Words is the guide.

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!
