Tuesday Talks have taken a turn and we at Mental Health AE are doing something new with someone new. We are excited to introduce you to our podcast series: From Adolescence to Adulthood - Understanding the Challenges and Navigating the Journey.
In this series, we are joined by an expert in the field to give us valuable insights. Nokhez Usama is a neuropsychologist and is currently working as a behavioral therapist here in Dubai. She has joined the Mental Health AE team to bring insight and awareness to mental health matters. Together we have mapped out 3 part series, 2 episodes each, as well as expert guests; diving into the different themes in the journey of adolescence to adulthood.
Stayin' alive, stayin' alive, Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
These are some relatable words that every young professional will feel at some given point. we at mental health AE want to change the nowhere to somewhere.
The jump from college to working life can be pretty drastic for some. For some, this is the time when life is bringing action to personal passions and for some, it can be a tricky period to dwell in.
In the third and last series of adolescence to adulthood, Ali and Nokhez talk about the importance of continuous education after college. We redefine the terms regarding self-education and discuss the importance of developing a rounded skills portfolio. moreover, we talk about the emotional pitfalls and rollercoasters that are common during this period.
