Teen Mental Health Research and What Adults Can Do

Before focusing on recent research data, it’s important to remember that there is so much adults can do to support teen mental health. It’s something adults need to do because a 2023 study showed some concerning percentages when it comes to teen hopelessness or depression. Understanding those numbers is vital in addressing the problem, but uncovering the cause is only part of what we need to know. We can’t always control external factors, such as isolation from the pandemic, but we can give teens the tools to strengthen their mental health, including teaching resilience.
