Supporting Teens Through COVID: Dr. Deborah Offner's Expert Advice

So nobody's in a good place, as you say, and it often doesn't lead to collaboration or mutual support.
Picture this: a year filled with lockdowns, remote learning, and social isolation. For teenagers, this has been their reality during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode of The Right Mind Media Podcast, adolescent psychologist Dr. Deborah Offner dives into the unique challenges faced by young people and offers practical advice on how to support them through these trying times. Dr.
Offner, who works closely with middle, high school, and college students, sheds light on the surprising ways teens have managed to stay connected. Contrary to what many might think, screens and video games have served as vital tools for social interaction, helping adolescents maintain friendships and a sense of community. Remote learning, however, has brought its own set of hurdles. From the discomfort of constant video calls to the pressure of academic achievement, students have faced significant stress. Dr.
Offner emphasizes the need for emotional security in educational settings and the importance of collaboration between schools and communities to create supportive environments. One of the standout points in this episode is Dr. Offner's advice for parents and educators. She provides actionable tips on how to foster emotional well-being and resilience in teenagers. Whether it's through counseling or other resources, the focus is on creating a nurturing space where young people can thrive despite the ongoing challenges.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand and support adolescents during the pandemic. Dr. Offner's compassionate and hopeful perspective offers valuable insights that can make a real difference in the lives of teenagers today.
