There has been a great deal of research and news reporting on the increase in anxiety, depression and mental health problems among young people. Suicide is increasing and there are not enough therapists to provide the needed help.
I look at a different possible approach to the problem. Attention to spiritual development leads to building a value system that gives meaning to life, relationships and work. It’s those who have these values that demonstrate integrity, courage and compassion in their lives.
Young people are drowning in messages to acquire material wealth, career success, status—to be good consumers living a life of comfort and achievement.
Young people need affirmation of their humanity and spirituality.
