Closer look at youth mental health: High levels of depression, suicidal thoughts in teens
Mental health issues, including anxiety and depression, have been on the rise among youth across the nation. Adolescence is often a challenging time, and the current generation of youth are facing additional unique stressors that can feel especially overwhelming and lead to poor mental well-being. Parents, caregivers, and other adults in the lives of children may feel unequipped or unsure how to support youth experiencing emotional or behavioral difficulties.
Wraparound clinicians, Dr. Courtney Weston (psychologist) and Rada Drča (clinical school liaison), joined Stephanie Brown of TMJ4 news Steph Connects for a two-part segment to discuss the stressors youth are facing, signs that a youth may be struggling with mental health issues, and how to support youth as they navigate these difficulties.
