In the first episode of our new series on adolescence, host Nina Kelly sits down with Oscar Thomas, a young adult who opens up about overcoming debilitating anxiety, bullying, and social isolation. From living in fear to finding strength through doing our Safe New Futures youth programme, Oscar shares raw insights on school trauma, the pressure of social media, and the disconnection plaguing today’s youth. A powerful conversation about mental health, resilience, and the search for real-world connection.
