Dear Teenagers
Teenagers take incredible care of one another, but doing so can, at times, be stressful. In this three-minute video, Dr. Lisa Damour offers 10to20s concrete guidance on how to involve adults when a friend is struggling. You can share this video with your teen, watch it with them, or use it for guidance on how to have this important conversation. Looking for more? Adults can watch the Untangling Family Life video “Getting 10to20s to Open Up” here.
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.
