Combating the “Mattering Deficit” - feat. Dr. Sarah Bennison

Combating the “Mattering Deficit” - feat. Dr. Sarah Bennison

A Harvard survey found that 44% of Gen Z young adults feel like they don't matter to others and 34% reported loneliness. A Gallup survey found that 31% of Gen Zers ages 12 to 26 often don’t feel loved, 35% often don't feel supported, and 30% always or often feel like nobody knows them well.


While these statistics are alarming, thankfully there is a movement working to address this crisis. In this episode, Leslie speaks with Dr. Sarah Bennison. Dr. Bennison is the CEO and Co-Founder of The Mattering Movement.


Dr. Sarah Bennison is an educational leader, activist, and founder of Trinity School (NYC) Office of Public Service, a thought leading service-learning initiative engaging students, faculty, families and alumni in ongoing, meaningful community engagement work and social impact curriculum. She started her career in New York City public schools in the South Bronx and has more than twenty-five years of teaching and leadership experience. She is also an adjunct professor at New York University.


Dr. Bennison co-founded the Mattering Movement along with journalist Jennie Wallace who is the author of bestselling book Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic-and What We Can Do About It, two other remarkable women, Kimberly Kravis and Kim Towner.


The Mattering Movement is working to address the pandemic of loneliness and despair that is plaguing our children and adolescents today.


Dr. Bennison and Leslie talk about this crisis facing our kids and what you can do to help your children and even yourselves develop a happier more fulfilled life – a life that “matters”. This is an episode you will not want to miss…
