Description
American teens today are struggling like no other time in history. Since the early 2000s, there’s been a consistent rise in suicide rates and suicidal ideation. And in the last few years, since COVID hit, nearly half of all teens in this country have reported feelings of hopelessness and persistent sadness. Theories abound as to why: social isolation, too much screentime, the stresses of a world awash in racism and discrimination, pressures to succeed, climate change. It’s a “national emergency” the headlines blare. But for therapists, the conjecture matters less than what we can do to help overwhelmed teens in our care. In this panel-led session, three experts take a close look at today’s teens and dig into how we can best alleviate their emotional distress and help them thrive. You’ll explore:
- What we can do to help teens process their experience of the last few years and the larger world in general
- Ways to counter the negative cultural messaging affecting teens of color and LGBTQIA teens
- How to address the spikes in teen suicidality
- How to help teens navigate social media and relationships with parents/caregivers and each other
