Youth Mental Health and How Families Can Support It

Youth mental health is a hot topic in the news right now, especially with the effects of the pandemic still impacting children and those in schools. This week on Life Support, we spoke with Amy Walters and Maria Torres about significant issues people should be aware of, how mental health care for children differs from that of adults, and how parents and schools can better support children facing mental health challenges.
