Mindful Morning with Dr. Matt & Nira Goyal
Manage episode 423366112 series 3557187
Welcome to "Mindful Mornings with Dr. Matt," where we explore the depths of mental wellness and personal growth. This morning we are fortunate to have special guest, Nira Goyal, founder of Teen Mental Reset Inc., who is pioneering the pathway for other high schoolers interested in partaking in the work toward destigmatizing and advocating on mental health.
Nira is an incoming first year student at the University of Pennsylvania. She is an advocate of increased awareness around mental and emotional health. Seeing mental health issues in her personal extended family and in my fellow peers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, motivated Nira to start Teen Mental Reset Inc. to spread knowledge surrounding mental health problems that teens face and the proper resources available for teens through community activities and educational outreach. Nira has worked with organizations such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club, and the South Florida Behavioral Health Network. In the future, she hopes to become a psychiatrist in order to help patients with their mental health issues in a clinical setting.
Whether you are one interested in supporting adolescent mental health or curious as to how to broach the conversation, this episode is for you. For more information on Nira Goyal and Teen Mental Reset Inc., feel free to visit her website at the following link:
