β I help parents and educators understand the root cause of the youth mental health crisis, and give them the tools they need to save lives. β
The teenage and young adult years are hard. Our young people face daily challenges deeper than we can imagine. From traumatic childhood experiences to stress at school and social media, there is no doubt our youth face more adult issues than we ever did. Trauma and prolonged periods of stress can lead to anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, mental health conditions, and the nightmare of suicide.Β
There is no doubt America is facing a youth mental health crisis. That is what we can see. But, the mental health crisis is just the tip of the iceberg. It is the pain beneath the surface that is killing our kids. To end the crisis, we must address the emotional pain - the driving force behind substance abuse, addiction, broken relationships, school violence, and suicide.
