For the podcast series On Education and Parenting (Dutch: Over Onderwijs en Opvoeding), Geertjan was invited to discuss a question that has been receiving growing attention: is there truly a mental health crisis among young people?

In the episode, he explores what the rising prevalence of stress and mental health problems in young people, and the increasing number of youths entering professional care, actually tell us. The conversation highlights why it may be time for a fundamental shift in how we understand stress, wellbeing, and mental health in young people.
