Link – New Hope for Reversing the Trend in Depression and Suicide
Would Hilary’s suggestion help in some cases? “Emotion education holds a missing piece to reversing this trend. All people need a basic education in emotions and how the mind handles them, especially when it comes to stressful life events and traumas.” Obviously, let’s agree that there will still be many cases that are more serious…
Sharing – National Well-Being Before and During the Pandemic
When I compare my personal experience to the overall statistics, again I can see where it is also kind of all over the place, because it’s individual. In some ways, I’m doing pretty well, in others, not so much. None of us are exactly the same, or living with the same circumstances. So as global as this pandemic is, the effects have been incredibly diverse.

Sharing – Adolescents with mental health conditions show different social media habits
The point I want to make is not that social media is perfectly safe. I want us to understand that it is nuanced, and the impact on any one kid is undetermined. We know that kids with strong connections are safer and have better mental health. Instead of assuming that we’ve solved the youth mental health issue by blocking social media, let’s make sure our kids have the kind of community that helps rather than harms their mental health.Â
