Being an owner of a digital marketing agency, Cathy Mellett certainly believes that the evolution of technology has resulted in so many positive changes but, there is a down side.

The I’m Enough charity is created to provide digital coping strategies for our young people and those that care about them. 

The common reoccurring story :-

  • Many adults reflect on their teenage years, a time where they had to seek out their unique personal identity . This period combined with self examination and the conquering of so many elements of self doubt or self image questions
  • Our youth are currently going through a period of change in their lives with the digital spotlight beaming down on them. They are the first generation to do so.

A consequence – our doctors are saying they have never seen the levels of anxiety and depression amongst our youth.

This video provides a small insight into why the I’m Enough charity was created.
