Being Human in an Age of Machines: The Mental Health Challenge

“Things are getting better and better and worse and worse, faster and faster, simultaneously.”

What does it mean to be human in an age of increasing technological acceleration, global unrest and growing disconnection?

We live in troubling, divisive and uncertain times. Yet we talk more to boxes and screens than one another. Rates of loneliness, social isolation and mental illness are increasing, and we are numbing our fear and anxiety through a range of distractions and substances. One in four Australians now have a chronic mental illness. One in seven are on anti-depressants and suicide rates are increasing. Climate change, complex issues, social media and concerns about the future are causing significant additional anxiety, particularly amongst younger people.

If we cannot raise our consciousness and keep up with the accelerating pace of change, is the cost going to be ever-increasing rates of mental illness? How can we collectively heal our trauma and state of anxiety and despair? Together we can find new ways of building resilience, adapting our minds, our emotions and our perspectives in a rapidly changing world. What kind of future do we want for our children and grandchildren?

Key Learnings
- The current mental health statistics and what to do about them
- How to raise our consciousness and build a collective future
- How neuroscience can help us change our brains and reconnect to self and others
- Ways to empower your people and communities to find meaningful purpose so that they can unleash their full potential
- How to include diverse voices, foster curiosity, generosity, understanding and a true sense of belonging

What other organizations say about Tania de Jong

Tania, thank you for your powerful and engaging presentation that aligned with our College in many ways. Today, you challenged us to consider the importance of the values of inclusion, compassion, and courage. You emphasised the importance of the Arts and in particular music to shape and inspire our young people. And you challenged us as staff that work in the College to step out of our comfort zones and understand what it feels like to feel vulnerable, a very important experience that reminds us of how many of our students feel when we challenge them to step out of their comfort zones.
