Beyond Wellness: Authenticity, Belonging, and Care

This is a moderated discussion between Dr. Gabor Maté and Maryam Zeineddin: A collective conversation on health, humanity, and care — rooted in authenticity, belonging, and connection.

Key Themes:

1. The challenges within our educational system, especially the rising anxiety and ADHD diagnoses among children and young adults.
2. Our healthcare system, which too often feels fragmented and reliant on “band-aid medicine” and the importance of the biopsychosocial model in understanding health.
3. The broader state of the world—polarization, “othering,” and the moral injury we collectively face.
4. Most importantly: what individuals can control, and how we can return to authenticity and our true selves.
