Resources for Bay Area Health Funders Group | The Next Generation: Youth Mental Health

Publication date:

05/2020

The lives of youth and families across the Bay Area have dramatically changed in the past month, and adjusting to a new way of learning and living is hard. For young people, being away from schools, friends, and relatives can intensify feelings of isolation and anxiety, which negatively impacts their mental health. Before this crisis, mental health among young people was widespread and undertreated, and many young people who accessed mental health care did so through a school setting. As we emerge from this crisis, our systems that interact with youth will need to work in new ways to support...

Publication date:

06/2017
