This episode marks the third episode of a series on child and youth mental health. I speak with Dr. Nazilla Khanlou. Nazilla is an associate professor in the School of Nursing and Women\\u2019s Health Research Chair in Mental Health at York University. In my conversation with her, Dr. Khanlou helps us understand some of the most pressing issues facing young people today, particularly people with intersecting marginalized identities such as disability and racialization. She talks to us about resilience, but not the individualized way we understand it, rather, a more complex notion of the concept, drawing attention to the structural dimensions of resilience and coping.
