Mental health is a prevalent and persistent problem among the United States’ adolescents. Between 2009 and 2019, 40% more adolescents have experienced persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Since COVID-19 and the isolation that came with it, this is even greater. On Tuesday, October 4th, tune into an innovative proposal to address rising mental health challenges from SOPHE’s Student Health Edu-Thon 2022 winning graduate team. Samantha Bertomen and Lisa Peters, CHFP introduce an educational and multi-faceted approach to create a better world for our youth, where mental health is no longer stigmatized, youth have access to the resources they need, and their health outcomes are improved.

By the end of this webinar, audience members will understand the prevalence of mental health challenges among youth, and the primary barriers to strategies that currently address this issue.  Audience members will be able to describe key concepts from the #MyMentalHealthMatters campaign and what makes the approach unique, transformational, and effective.(1.4)  (4.1)
