Adolescents in Crisis: Trauma Across Contexts

Join us for a Mental Health Month conversation that gets past clichés and into what works. Psyche Innovations’ Daniel Thomas Page is joined by Wiehan Basson, Clinical Psychologist, committed to facilitating meaningful connections that nurture psychological well-being across all stages of life. His interests include neurodiversity, complex psychopathology, and the destigmatisation of mental health.

We will unpack:

• What trauma looks like in adolescents

• Why context matters, and the similarities and differences across domestic settings and humanitarian crises

• Real-world barriers to care, and how systems can support or fail

• Practical tools, approaches, and promising digital plus on-the-ground solutions

This session is for mental health professionals, educators, policymakers, humanitarians, and anyone committed to adolescent well-being in a turbulent world. Expect clear science, lived context, and take-home interventions that make a difference.
