After the Fact

Are the Kids All Right?


Listen Later

According to Pew Research Center, 55% of U.S. parents report being extremely or very concerned about the mental health of teens today. And several factors are driving that concern: increased influence of technology and social media, lingering effects of the pandemic, and social pressures like extracurricular activities and academic performance. Substance use is also linked with mental health and is occurring at younger ages with a rise in youth overdoses. 

Mental health wellness and prevention programs from previous generations, some of which are still used today, have been ineffective or even counterproductive. So, what strategies actually work? In this episode of “After the Fact,” psychologists Obari Adéye Cartman and Sharon Hoover, as well as Pew’s Jessica Roark, discuss how to improve youth mental health programs and address substance use.
