Nearly half of teens (47%) report moderate to severe loneliness, and 80% say being connected is very or extremely important to them.

Building Bridges: Teen Loneliness and Connection is a new Child Mind Institute study that surveyed a sample of 1,000 U.S. teens ages 14–17. It looks at how connection in five areas of their lives (family, peers, school, self, and digital spaces) relates to loneliness, anxiety, and depression.

Some of what the study explores:
• Why connection with family showed the strongest link to better mental health
• How uneven connection across areas is associated with higher risk
• Where school fits in as an opportunity to build belonging
• What teens say about in-person time, passive scrolling, and online connection
• The emerging role of AI as a source of support for some teens

When children are struggling with attention, behavior, social interactions, or emotional regulation, extra support during the school year can make a meaningful difference.

Our After-School Groups & Booster Programs help children ages 5-10 build skills through structured activities, guided peer interactions, and real-time coaching from experienced clinicians. Children have opportunities to practice managing emotions, working with peers, following group expectations, and building greater independence in a supportive environment.
