The Mental Health Crisis in Children & Teens: What Families, Therapists & Communities Can Do

Written By Kathy Tran

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, AAMFT hosted a LinkedIn Live panel on the growing mental health crisis among children and teens.

DTC’s Director of Training & Development, Octavia Neal, LMFT, joined a panel of leading therapists, authors, and community leaders to discuss how families, mental health professionals, and communities can respond to the challenges facing today’s youth. The conversation explores:

  • What’s driving rising rates of anxiety, depression, and trauma in young people

  • Practical strategies for building resilience and emotional well-being

  • Ways to expand access to care and community-based support

Watch the full discussion to learn how we can work together to protect youth mental health and build a stronger, more supportive future.
