Addressing the Urgency of Youth Mental Health
March 9, 2022 | 1:00 – 2:30 pm EST
Cosponsored with Southern California Grantmakers
No one has been exempted from the mental health toll of the COVID-19 pandemic, though experiences have differed across race, gender, income, immigration status, and disability. Children and youth are at particular risk, as outlined in the December 2021 Surgeon General’s Advisory, Protecting Youth Mental Health. The pandemic and its associated challenges, along with preexisting stressors including racism, gun violence, climate change, and increasing national polarization, have taken a serious toll on the wellbeing of young people and their families. This webinar explored issues our youth are facing and uplifting ways that philanthropy can take action to support youth mental health, especially in ways that are culturally responsive and center collective healing.
