Associate Professor Arianne Reis recently joined the Gidget Foundation Australia podcast 1 in 5 mothers, 1 in 10 fathers to discuss her impactful work with young parents through the Young Well Beings project. In a compelling conversation with host Davina Smith and Dr. Felicity Chandler (Clinical Psychologist, Gidget Foundation Australia), Arianne explored the often-overlooked mental health challenges faced by young mothers and fathers. Together, they delved into:
- The unique intersection of adolescence and matrescence,
- How societal stereotypes underestimate the strength and resilience of young families, and
- Why compassionate support, not judgment, can transform lives.
