Headspace Online Forum - Perfectionism
Headspace are holding online forums for young people where you can hear from a professional and if you wish to, you can log in and pre-register a question that can be answered during the forum.
On 4th September the topic is perfectionism, which is sometimes an underlying element of anxiety. If you can't listen live at the time, the transcript will be available afterwards for you to download or you can ask the Student Wellbeing Team to print you a copy.
The Perfectionism Predicament
Perfectionism can seem like a positive trait, as we often think it means doing well, and striving to do our best. However, for those living with the drive for perfection, it poses many challenges. It can impact our relationships with others, our mental health, and ironically, often result in us not doing as well as we could have.
Join the eheadspace clinicians and the headspace youth National Reference Group to learn more about what perfectionism might look like, its links to mental ill-health, and ideas about what to do if you think you might be experiencing perfectionism.
Date and Time: Sunday 4th September between 7-8pm AEST.
