The Hopeless Generation: Addressing Youth Isolation & Disconnection with Dr. Henry Venter – Episode 350

Young people today are drowning in hopelessness—disconnected, disillusioned, and abandoning love, dreams, and life itself. It’s time to offer a lifeline, not excuses. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor sits down with Dr. Henry Venter, a licensed clinical psychologist and professor of psychology with over 25 years of experience in clinical practice and education. Dr. Venter’s research focuses on the growing mental health crisis among young adults, particularly the rise of loneliness and the critical role of meaning and purpose in achieving happiness and fulfillment. Drawing on a holistic therapeutic approach that combines client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and psychodynamic principles, Dr. Venter offers valuable insights into addressing these challenges. Join us as we discuss his findings on the alarming rise of loneliness and the so-called “Giving Up Generation,” and explore the pathways to hope and reconnection.
