  • Resumen


  • One third of our teens and emerging adults are struggling with anxiety-and less than 50% of those kids get any kind of mental health treatment or guidance.

    Today we speak with John MacPhee, the Executive director and CEO of The Jed Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that has been in existence for 20 years,  working to strengthen the emotional health of teens and young adults.  John gives us an overview of the many factors affecting this rise,  including:
    -a constant influx of information

    -economic pressure, inequality and division

    -political division and hostility

    -sleep deprivation

    -lack of in-person socialization and communication

    -social media, social comparison and the many determinants of screen time, including the degree to which it keeps them away from the outdoors and nature

    Perhaps the biggest stressor is the pressure to figure out what their lane is. How can they stand out?

    It's too much pressure or their age and they shouldn't have to self-define so early. We need to let them know that..and we need to try to ease the pressure for them.
