My guest this week is Liza Skipwith, and upper school counselor and director of counseling services at Colorado Academy. Liza has been a school counselor for 26 years and has her certification as a suicide prevention specialist. Our conversation focuses on Gen Z, differences between how boys and girls talk about mental health, and how to talk to teens about mental health and suicidal ideation.
A recent article in Forbes by Mark Perna wrote about how the pandemic has inspired Gen Z to rethink their education, career and future. Often called Generation Resilient, they are entering into a post-pandemic world with new levels of confidence. “This generation has shown remarkable resilience in channeling their penchant for activism, creativity and motivation,” says Laura Howe, Senior Vice President, Global Corporate Communications, for Pearson. “Despite all their setbacks during the pandemic, they’re still eager to move forward with their education to drive change.” “By their nature, members of Gen-Z are socially conscious, driven and highly engaged with the world around them,” says Howe. “Generations of all ages can learn from this and work to help strengthen their community, particularly after such an isolating year.”
