What Teens Need Now: Addressing the Adolescent Mental Health Crisis

Recently, as part of the Sulzberger Distinguished Lecture Series at Duke University’s Sanford Center for Child and Family Policy, Dr. Damour offered her overview of the adolescent mental health crisis. In this talk she detailed the scope of the crisis and spelled out how a tiered public health approach—in which all of us have a part to play—can help to turn the tide. Click here to read a top-line summary of the presentation and here to see the slides that go with the talk.

The advice provided here by Dr. Damour and the resources shared by her AI-powered librarian, Rosalie, will not and do not constitute - or serve as a substitute for - professional psychological treatment, therapy, or other types of professional advice or intervention. If you have concerns about your child’s well-being, consult a physician or mental health professional.
