Podcasts about young people

Burnout isn't one big thing. It's lots of smaller things, building and building - until even the smallest demand tips you over the edge. Joe Fautley, project coordinator at the Council for Disabled Children and neurodiversity advocate, returns to the podcast to discuss burnout, communication, and what it takes to build inclusive environments for autistic learners. Joe speaks from lived experience. Non-verbal for much of his childhood, he lost hard-won communication skills when he moved to an unsupportive mainstream school, and spent years managing severe anxiety and extended absences. His story is also one of remarkable growth: from a child who couldn't speak verbally, to someone who now delivers public talks and co-facilitates training for education professionals. Together, Dale and Joe explore the direct relationship between belonging and burnout, why communication and mental health are inseparable, and why the single most important thing a school can do is ask the young person what they need - and actually listen to the answer.  About Joe Fautley Joe Fautley is an Autistic and neurodivergent advocate with over 10 years of experience in a variety of personal lived experience advocacy and professional training work for Autism, neurodiversity and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

An independent review into mental health has found a rise in mental distress among children and young people, with anxiety, depression, self-harm and eating disorders among the most common issues.Head of the review, Professor Peter Fonagy, says that accusations that young people are overly sensitive are wrong. He says it is now “harder to be young” due to challenges such as economic and employment uncertainty and problems caused by social media.Some are unsure about the new data as some of the sources rely on self-reporting. There is also an argument which says that the higher mental distress numbers could be because of changing attitudes and greater awareness, so more people feel able to report their problems.Get a worksheet for this episode to practise the vocabulary: https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/learning-english-from-the-news_2026/260930Subscribe to our newsletter to get the latest programmes https://www.bbc.co.uk/send/u178220599

Paul Sagar depends on carers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He could die without them. It's been that way ever since the academic at King's College London fell in a rock climbing accident three years ago and was paralysed from the neck down. His experiences in England's adult social care system - and the stories he has heard from others - have led him to a radical plan for how to address its spiralling costs, staff shortages, and increasing demand. Paul thinks that, before they go to university, students should be offered the chance to volunteer in the care sector for at least a year, in exchange for a discount on their future university tuition fees.We hear Paul's remarkable story and put his solution to the test: how many teenagers would actually go for it, and would they make a big enough difference?This episode was recorded before Andy Burnham announced plans to end the pensions triple lock by 2030 to help fund a National Care Service in England.

In this episode of Classonomics, Sabrina Maddeaux and Mike Moffatt examine how Canada's outdated Employment Insurance model leaves young professionals and gig workers behind during record spikes in youth unemployment.

Today, my guest is Glenn Solomons, an educator, learning designer and professional learning specialist whose career has taken him from art and design and studies in architecture, through to classroom teaching and school leadership, to designing professional learning experiences. Glenn shares how ten years in the classroom gradually led him into school leadership, where he discovered another passion: working with adults and facilitating teacher professional learning. Glenn describes the twists and turns that took him beyond the school classroom, from designing professional learning for school leaders across Australia, to developing online and blended learning and eventually establishing his own business, Cheeky Learning. We take a closer look at one of Glenn's recent projects with the Tasmanian Department for Education, Children and Young People, where he co-designed a series of online modules to support teacher mentors working with early career teachers. We explore the challenges that led to the project, the importance of co-design, the use of case studies and storyboarding, and the value of testing and gathering feedback on learning design approaches with real teachers. Our conversation also explores some of the human side of learning design. Glenn talks about trust, relationships, empathy and responsibility—and why understanding the people you're working with can be just as important as having a sound design process. We discuss the idea of being "kind to the person, tough on ideas", and how relationships can help people navigate differences of opinion without turning them into personal conflicts. Throughout our conversation is Glenn's strong belief that professional learning needs to bridge the gap between theory and practice. That is, rather than simply giving participants interesting information and sending them on their way, Glenn asks a simple question: Will this make a difference to what someone does tomorrow or Monday morning? We unpack Glenn's own learning design process—from understanding the problem you're actually trying to solve, through sequencing content into a coherent learning "thread", using case studies to apply ideas, developing action plans, and testing and iterating the final product. Glenn offers thoughtful reflections on designing learning that is practical, human and genuinely useful.

The new president of the British Veterinary Association is calling for more resilience against disease outbreaks. As the UK battles a huge outbreak of the livestock disease Bluetongue, and there are warnings of a new pig disease in the Netherlands and Denmark, Dr Gwen Rees says as a profession, vets need to make sure they are ready to act. It comes following National Audit Office reports warning that Defra's animal disease response plans leave the UK's food security vulnerable to major supply disruptions. This week we're looking at how young people are getting into careers in agriculture. Today we speak to the CEO of Landex - the umbrella organisation for land-based colleges and universities. And we celebrate 50 years of a charity that offers children who live in cities a chance to live on a farm for a week. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Sally Challoner.

Can young Australians still buy a home, or is property ownership slipping further out of reach? In this Australian Property Podcast livestream, Owen and Milli unpack the challenge of buying property in your 20s and 30s, while still building wealth through shares and super. They cover practical ways to save a deposit, including high-interest savings accounts, investing and the First Home Super Saver Scheme. You'll learn how FHSS contributions, withdrawals and deemed earnings work, plus the risks of investing money you may need for a home purchase. The discussion also explores how parents and grandparents can help with a deposit through gifts, loans, co-borrowing or co-ownership, and why the legal structure matters. Owen and Milli then turn to debt recycling: what it is, why more Australians are asking about it, and how interest rates, investment returns and tax treatment can affect the strategy. Plus, they tackle listener questions on family loans and asset protection, the changing capital gains tax landscape, HSBC's retreat from Australian retail banking, and the difficulty retirees can face when applying for a new credit card.

Why Do Young People Feel Unheard? With Raquel Borras

An independent review into mental health, ADHD and autism, conducted by Professor Peter Fonagy, has found that there has been a real rise in mental distress amongst the younger generation, with anxiety, depression, self-harm and eating disorders the most common challenges facing our young people. The review came as a result of a claim by then-health secretary Wes Streeting that young people were over-diagnosed and "written off". Last year, a BBC report found many GPs also had concerns about over-diagnosis, with the view that normal life stresses were becoming medicalised. Professor Fonagy, a clinical psychologist and adviser to NHS England, has spoken to the BBC ahead of the publication of the review, which concludes that around one in four 16-24 year olds now struggle with their mental health, and NHS figures show the number of young people having contact with mental health services has increased by 50% in the last five years. The debate, however, is still fierce. Are we facing a real terms mental distress crisis? Are we more aware of our mental health and therefore seeking help earlier? Is the expectation of resilience an outdated concept? Join Maud Waret, Michael Wright, Ollie Bayliss and Liz Webb live at 8 pm tonight to share your views.

Reflections on participation in the community, as self-reported by young people with cerebral palsyJacinta Quartermaine, T A Rose, Megan Auld, Leanne JohnstonAbstractBackground and objective: This study focused on the community-based participation experiences of young people with cerebral palsy (CP), investigating the factors that make participation easier or harder.Methods: Accessible methods were utilized to explore the perspectives of 15 young people with CP aged 15 to 26 years with diverse motor and communication abilities (Gross Motor Function Classification System I = 4, II = 6, III = 1, IV = 3, V = 1, Viking Speech Scale I = 7, II = 4, III = 3, IV = 1). Participants provided regular written reflections, photographs, or videos about their community-based participation. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.Results: Self-reported reflections were grouped inductively into 421 codes, then 22 subthemes and 6 themes: (i) My CP characteristics can make participation in the community more difficult; (ii) My own thoughts, emotions, confidence, and sense of achievement influence the things I do in the community; (iii) Accessibility of the environment and availability of equipment influences my participation in the community; (iv) The range of supports I have available influences my participation in the community; (v) Whether the community activity has been adjusted to include and involve me influences my participation; and (vi) The attitudes, actions, and level of acceptance from others in the community influences my participation.Discussion: Key factors influencing community-based participation for young people included CP characteristics, thoughts, emotions, confidence, environment, equipment, supports, accommodations, attitudes, actions, and acceptance.Keywords: Cerebral palsy; community; participation; qualitative thematic analysis; young people.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42143034/

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Christina Dukes Brown. CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Paterson and Passaic, New Jersey. The discussion centers on the organization's mission to support underserved youth through education, mentorship, entrepreneurship, life skills development, athletics, and community engagement. Dr. Brown also shares her vision for empowering young people and calls on businesses, volunteers, and community leaders to help create opportunities for the next generation. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Highlight the needs of children and families in Paterson and Passaic, New Jersey. Showcase the impact of the Boys & Girls Club's programs. Encourage volunteers, mentors, business owners, and corporations to get involved. Promote youth entrepreneurship and leadership development. Demonstrate how communities can work together to improve outcomes for young people. Key Takeaways 1. The Boys & Girls Club Is a Lifeline for Many Families The organization serves more than 1,400 children and teens daily through after-school programs, summer camps, tutoring, athletics, arts, and mentoring. Many of the families served face challenges such as poverty, food insecurity, homelessness, and educational barriers. Impact: Academic support and homework assistance. Nutritious meals and safe environments. Positive recreational and leadership opportunities. Family and community support services. 2. Education Requires Community Support Dr. Brown explained that schools alone cannot provide everything children need to succeed. The Boys & Girls Club helps fill those gaps through smaller group settings, individualized attention, and additional academic resources. Programs Include: Homework support (Power Hour) Tutoring Character development Leadership training Creative arts and athletics College and career preparation 3. Entrepreneurship Is a Major Focus One of the Club's signature initiatives is Girls with Goals, a 10-week entrepreneurship program designed to help young women develop business skills. Participants: Learn from successful women entrepreneurs. Create business plans. Develop pitching skills. Present their ideas in a Shark Tank-style competition. The program aims to build confidence, leadership abilities, and financial literacy while inspiring future business owners. 4. Mentorship Is Critical A central message throughout the interview is the importance of mentorship. Dr. Brown emphasized that young people benefit from seeing successful individuals who share similar backgrounds and experiences. She encouraged professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to volunteer their time and expertise. Why Mentorship Matters: Provides real-world guidance. Builds confidence. Expands career awareness. Helps break cycles of poverty. Creates positive role models. 5. Challenging Negative Stereotypes Dr. Brown spoke passionately about overcoming what she called "deficit ideology," the belief that young people from marginalized communities lack the ability to succeed. Her message was clear: Talent exists everywhere. Success is not determined by zip code. Every child has strengths that deserve recognition. Soft skills are just as important as academic achievements. She stressed the importance of helping young people recognize their own value and potential. 6. Preparing Youth for Adulthood The organization serves youth from ages 5 to 25, including young adults who are still exploring career options. For older participants, the Club focuses on: Professional development Workplace readiness Internships Career exploration Leadership opportunities Dr. Brown also discussed expanding partnerships with local businesses to expose young adults to skilled trades and vocational careers. 7. Community Involvement Is the Solution Both Dr. Brown and Rushion McDonald repeatedly stressed that real change happens when communities become actively involved. The interview served as a call to action for: Volunteers Business owners Corporations Churches Mentors Community organizations The message: everyone has something valuable to contribute to the success of young people. Notable Quotes On Community Responsibility "I can't complain about the position of Black and Brown people in society if I'm not going to do the work necessary to support its elevation." On Motivation "It's hard to get to sleep at night because you're constantly thinking about what's next and what you must do. But I am motivated to jump out of bed every morning to come and support these communities." On Potential and Success "No matter where you come from and no matter what you look like, no matter what skin you show up in, you have the capacity to become great." On Building Confidence "We have to help affirm those skills just like the others, so that young people can be confident in who they are." On Mentorship "One of the best motivating factors for most young people is being able to look into the eyes of a person who looks like them, who has a similar background." On Entrepreneurship "Many of our teenage female club members wanted to start their own businesses." On Community Access "We want to make ourselves available to the community as often as the community has a need." Executive Summary Dr. Christina Dukes Brown's appearance on Money Making Conversations Masterclass was a powerful call for community-driven youth empowerment. She highlighted the Boys & Girls Club of Paterson and Passaic's efforts to address educational challenges, develop future leaders and entrepreneurs, provide mentorship, and create pathways to long-term success.

What happens when young people step away from their phones, leave behind an increasingly automated world, and enter experiences that require them to be fully present? In this episode Will speaks with Greg Morrissey, founder of the Mountain Goat Movement, an adventure travel and outdoor education organization serving high school and college students. A former literature teacher, Greg explains why he left the classroom to create outdoor experiences that combine skiing, surfing, trekking, environmental learning, digital detox, and long-term mentorship. Greg shares stories ranging from students attempting to order Uber Eats in the Adirondack backcountry to a reluctant 14-year-old hiker who eventually summited Mount Kilimanjaro. He describes how Mountain Goat Movement partners with schools, educators, explorers, and outdoor brands to help young people develop resilience, confidence, community, and a stronger sense of purpose. Although Mountain Goat Movement is not a therapy program, the conversation explores how adventure, trusted mentors, self-authorship, and time away from technology can provide something deeply therapeutic—and help young people become the authors of their own lives.

Send us Fan MailWhen Lawrence C. Harris was 14, he was failing in school, playing videogames all day, and existing on junk food. He was unhappy and unhealthy, and, as Lawrence recalls, he felt like he “didn't deserve to feel better.” Then Lawrence decided to turn his life around, and (spoiler alert) he did. Now, at the ripe old age of 20, Lawrence is a successful author, personal coach, and public speaker. Lawrence chronicled his transformation in his book Think Feel Live Different, which is one of the clearest case studies of a growth mindset in action that I have ever encountered. Lawrence and I discuss his book, his transformation, and what he hopes other young people might learn from him. More information about Lawrence and how you can bring him and his insights to your community is at talkingaboutkids.com.
