In the (Dutch spoken) podcast De Brabo en de pessimist<\/em>, University Council members Erin van Gestel and Friso Roos discuss subjects that remain a sore spot for the \u2018unlucky generation\u2019. In this third episode, they talk about mental health concerns and the associated proposal to lower the binding study advice. They also take aim at State Secretary Van Ooijen, who publicly wondered whether young people actually need that much professional help.<\/p>\n

Since this episode is about the stigma surrounding mental health, Friso and Erin kick things off by talking about how they themselves are doing. While Friso is less forgetful and is, on the whole, doing better now that exams are over, Erin continues to struggle, both physically and mentally, as she recovers from an accident.<\/p>\n
