This episode marks the second episode of a series on child and youth mental health. I speak with Sharry Taylor about youth mental health, particularly, how identity develops in young people in the context of mental health and illness. She takes us on a journey of what it might be like for the developing young person as they grapple with making sense of what it means to have disruptions in their mental health. Sharry is a schoolteacher and doctoral student at the University of Toronto, engaging in research on identity theory and identity development in the context of youth mental health.
