I think it all has to do with the degree of control that any one of us feels at any time over our situation, and what this pandemic has done has completely upended any sense of predictability, planning, control that we, kind of you know, always believe that we have or that we ve had in the past.
The world has been turned upside down, and no one feels it more than our youth. In this episode of USRA Coalition's 'Let's Talk About It', Dr. Jenn Altman, a seasoned school and clinical psychologist, dives into the profound effects the pandemic has had on adolescents. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Altman brings a wealth of knowledge and practical advice to the table.
She discusses how the sudden loss of predictability and control has left many young people struggling to cope. Dr. Altman highlights the warning signs of mental health issues in adolescents and stresses the importance of emotional support from parents and educators. She also advocates for integrating social-emotional learning into everyday school life to help students navigate these turbulent times. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the well-being of young people during the pandemic. Dr.
Altman’s insights provide not just understanding but also actionable steps to support our youth. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or just someone who cares about mental health, you'll find this conversation both enlightening and essential.
