Youth Mental Health

Show Notes: These days we hear a lot about youth mental health, and there is a lot of worry about the mental health of youth. Things that are affecting the mental health of youth, from the perspective of two members of Family Services of the North Shore’s YouthLAB 2021/22 cohort. Types of mental health challenges they notice in themselves and their friends and peers. Ways they manage stress and anxiety. Ways youth might be able to feel more ease and less distress in their lives. How adults can be most helpful to the youth they care about. Advice for parents about supporting their teens, and comfort and support tools and activities. Social media, and their opinions about the positive of connection as well the negative impacts. Global and social issues and how they influence and impact young people. Opinions on therapy. Resources: To check out the new YouthLAB website click here.
