Pediatric doctor speaking with a child patient during an appointment
In 2021, the U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory on the state of Youth Mental Health with several major medical societies joining in to declare a national emergency. And while the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the current crisis, it comes at the end of a decade-long decline in mental health outcomes for children.

This webinar provides an evidence-based look into the current children’s mental health crisis, reviews potential stressors commonly faced by young patients, and examines the tangible steps healthcare providers can take to reduce risk and increase outcomes.
