Event details
York Wellbeing Lecture
Dr Thomas Curran explores how the pressure to be perfect - in our social media feeds, in relationships, and at university and work - is driving a rise in mental ill-health. Learn more about what perfectionism is (and what it isn’t), the causes of rising perfection, and how we can personally and collectively create a culture that promotes growth over perfection, and compassion over criticism.
