Girls & Mental Health
In today’s Voices of Compassion episode, we talk with Dr. Katie Reeves, health researcher and Nurse Practitioner who specializes in the care of anxious, suicidal, and self-harming teens and their families. Listen now to learn more about what you can do to support our adolescent girls today.
Recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveal a concerning surge in persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness among high school girls in particular. In just a decade, these numbers have nearly doubled. We explore the prevalence of mental health challenges among adolescent girls, from social pressures to the influence of social media and more.
