APA Foundation Launches Mental Healthcare Works Resource
You can access the launch page here – https://mentalhealthcareworks.org
Taking a quick look around it appears there are some stories, links to resources for finding help, and some advice on talking to your physician or helping a friend take the first steps toward getting help.

Sharing – The impact of Facebook and Instagram on teens isn’t so clear
In the end, here’s the thing. You, and your kids, are not a study. You are all individuals, who may be negatively impacted by social media, or not.

If it’s helping you feel supported and less alone in the world, then enjoy that and I hope you’ll continue to share that within your social media circles.
As I have said many times – do what works for you.
