Clinicians believe social media is the biggest contributor to the growing numbers of young people experiencing poor mental health. So much recent research evidence highlights the negative role of social media on children and young adults. Equipping everyone from a young age with tools to increase self-worth and resilience which act as buffers against the negative impact of comparison and external validation, is more important than ever. Mental health literacy is critical for us all. https://lnkd.in/e93Mg7Yr

According to a survey conducted by POLITICO, over 1,400 clinicians surveyed reported a decline in mental well-being among children since the start of the pandemic. Social media, social isolation, and external events beyond their control (like school shootings, climate change, war, and political instability) were identified as the top drivers of mental health issues. To tackle this issue, one solution is to make mental health care more accessible. We partner with practices to develop infrastructure and workflows that help expand access to care and treatment for mental health. #mentalhealth #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters https://lnkd.in/e93Mg7Yr

Many American children with mental health issues aren't getting the care they need, and it's hurting everyone. A report by The Cigna Group says the number of young people with mental health conditions has surged in recent years. More kids are getting treatment, but many aren't getting the full spectrum of care they need, like therapy and medication together. This lack of proper care can worsen mental health, hurt physical health, and cause problems at home and school. Working parents are struggling to find and afford care for their children, and it's impacting their jobs. Over half of working parents with a child with mental health challenges faced difficulties getting them the care they need. Common barriers include finding a provider, getting appointments, and affording treatment. This stress can affect parents' work performance and well-being. Learn more: https://hubs.ly/Q02vJ8VV0

I've written an article reviewing some of the literature for those of us working in child and adolescent mental health - on the topic of why we work with parents/caregivers. Feel free to read/share if helpful. I have also attached a link to a parent/caregiver version of this article in case you would like to provide it to parents, for them to understand why we (mostly) want to involve in their child/adolescent's mental health treatment. https://lnkd.in/gYhPP_VY

Adolescent mental health today is often referred to as a crisis. With the rise in social media use, academic pressure, and other stressors, teenagers are facing new mental health challenges that may be even more difficult for them emotionally than in generations past. Do you know an adolescent who may benefit from inpatient treatment? Read our blog below about the benefits of inpatient treatment for adolescents.

Timely blog on #Adolescents and #Inpatient #MentalHealth Treatment:

Sobering studies out recently about potential underdiagnosis of mental health concerns in teenage boys, with some concluding that potential symptoms may be dismissed as “typical” teenage behavior. As the parent of teenagers, I know firsthand the challenges we all face in communicating with young adults from time to time. And yet, I challenge every parent of teens to think critically about their child’s behavior over time and don’t hesitate to seek help when something feels off. Whether it is SonderMind, another mental health care provider in your community, or your child’s pediatrician to start, there are resources to help you. https://lnkd.in/gHMCmfB2 #mentalhealth

Today we are facing mental health challenges with adolescents. In part because we have not addressed these challenges for many years. We have also not provided parent therapy or coaching to parents, which is essential to child development. This dilemma after the pandemic includes social isolation and social distancing has made it difficult for parents to explain to their children, what we as educators and teachers have taught in the classroom. As a therapist and educator, I understand these complexities and provide this direction for parents who need this support. We give various services in our practice from discharge planning to parent coaching.
