Going back to school can be stressful for children and adolescents, and focusing on mental health is more important than ever during this time. Throughout August, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will share resources for children, adolescents, parents, educators, and providers about coping with the challenges of returning to school. Follow NIMH on social media for information and resources! Facebook Live: The Youth Mental Health Crisis As children prepare to return to school during these uncertain times, please join NIMH Deputy Director Dr. Shelli Avenevoli on August 11th at 1:00 p.m. ET for a Facebook Live Event to discuss the nation's youth mental health crisis. Dr. Avenevoli will cover topics such as the alarming rate of youth suicide, the effects of technology and the pandemic on the developing brain, and what the research says about supporting the mental health of current and future generations of youth. |
