“As part of our mission to decrease stigma and fear surrounding mental health and learning disorders, the Child Mind Institute asked more than 30 prominent people — from actors to athletes to business leaders — to make videos sharing their personal experiences about growing up with these challenges. We offer these videos to educators as teaching opportunities, to help children and adolescents understand how many successful people have wrestled with these problems and gone on to achieve great things. The #MyYoungerSelf Educator toolkit contains information to explain each of the disorders discussed in the videos, from anxiety and depression to eating disorders, and suggested questions for each topic that can be used to prompt discussion among students.”
