The Atlantic Festival: Tackling the Youth Mental Health Crisis

In September 2024 Dr. Damour had the honor of participating in a panel about adolescent mental health at the Atlantic Festival in Washington, D.C.. Moderated by journalist Adam Harris, the panel also featured Dr. Tamar Mendelson of Johns Hopkins University and Admiral Rachel L. Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Together, they addressed a range of solutions to the adolescent mental health crisis. Here is the video of the panel discussion.
