Listen: Kaiser Permanente mental health expert Dr. Hillary Van Horn-Gatlin
She discusses how the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with protests and riots happening in many cities, is resulting in youth feeling even more anxious, restless and unable to cope with the situation around them. She also discusses what recent findings among at-risk youth show what healthcare providers and others can do and why it’s important to provide better support and coping mechanisms for today’s youth and young adults.
She also talks about what mental health and wellness activities can help during these times.
