There is No 'One-Size-Fits-All' Solution when Addressing the Mental Health Crisis in Adolescents & Young Adults

Virtual Presentation

Speaker: Dana Stein, PhD

The rates of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts are at record highs. While there are a plethora of advisors suggesting we engage in "self care" clearly it is more complicated than a quick fix. I will dig into the research and present the specifics of how social media has impacted mental health and how to better manage our use of technology. Suggestions will be presented about what self-care really looks like versus the superficiality that we are bombarded with that actually makes us all feel worse. Links between our nervous system and mood will be explored.
