Selfology: An educational alternative to the medicalisation of young people's distress.

​In this session, Bea and Ella discuss the philosophy behind the creation of Selfology, a new educational programme that brings psychological theory and skills out of clinical settings and into young people’s everyday lives. They are joined by Aliyah and Krystyna, two students who participated in the programme during their time at school, to explore how the model had an impact on their personal life and understanding of mental health. They discuss their vision for the future and how Selfology can empower young people to develop a positive sense of personal identity and lead their own process of healing.
