Political Café: you are not alone

Anxiety, depression, eating disorders and other mental problems is a debilitating struggle for young people that can destroy their well-being, relationships, achievements and future prospects, and all this in a world that is already uncertain for young people. This issue is more topical than ever, which is why we organised a political café on young people's mental health together with GroenLinks Utrecht. What can politicians in Utrecht do?

During the evening, GZ-psychologist Lars van Kessel dropped by to talk a bit about the theory and his experiences with mental complaints in young people. Afterwards, the chairman of DWARS Utrecht Gijs Broere entered into a conversation with Julia Kleinrensink, the group chair of GroenLinks Utrecht, about what Utrecht politics can do.
