Tanya Marwaha

Welcome to episode 112 with Tanya Marwaha who is the founder of Championing Youth Minds.

Championing Youth Minds provide free, online resources to schools, parents, and young people to help them to understand mental health and problems and what to do about them.

It was started by Tanya after she witnessed first-hand the lack of help and support that is offered to young people by the current education system.

She has created a platform that gives young people a platform and a voice so that anyone who uses it can educate themselves on mental health and wellbeing and share their experiences with other people.

Tanya and I chat about her early experiences with grief would lead to mental ill health problems and long-term chronic pain issues and we chat about how she manages these issues as a young person.

We chat about the need for Championing Youth Minds and why Tanya set it up and we chat about all the wonderful things that she is doing and her plans for the platform in the future.

We also chat about mental health in the South Asian community, attending university during the pandemic and some of the additional challenges that young people are dealing with in regards to their mental health.

Tanya is really making a difference to everyone who is using her platform and it was wonderful to hear all about it!

This is an episode that is worth sharing with any young people in your life or anyone that you know who works with young people and I think it’s really important that more people know about this work.
