Children and teens, now more than ever, are reaching out to get help with their mental health struggles - depression, anxiety, and body image problems, among many others. Nichole talks with Dr. Fatima Watt, Director of Behavioral Health Services at Franciscan Children's, about what teens need from adults in their lives as they try to navigate a mental health crisis. They also talk about the effects of social media on Generation Z, and why younger people are more open about their mental health struggles. Buy Black NB, which connects residents to Black-owned businesses, is staying busy this summer! Founder Justina Perry returns to the show to talk about their upcoming Juneteenth event in New Bedford. She also has an update on the state of small business ownership on the South Coast, and how business owners are recovering after the height of COVID-19.
