Helping children and adolescents through mental health adversity

Last week Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy issued a public health advisory on the mental health challenges confronting youth, warning of a looming crisis that started before the pandemic hit. Since then, symptoms of depression and anxiety have gone way up, as well as suicide attempts by teens. Dr. Loretta Whitson, Executive Director of the California Association of School Counselors joined Good Day LA with advice on what to look for, and where to turn for help when it comes to our kids and their mental health.
