Loneliness and social isolation are among the top mental health concerns for young people and their parents. So what actually helps teens feel connected?
In recognition of World Mental Health Day, join us and the Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children's Mental Health for a virtual panel discussion sharing a first look at new Child Mind Institute research on how teens experience connection with family, friends, school, themselves, and online.
We'll explore:
• What connection means to young people and why it matters
• How connection relates to loneliness, anxiety, depression, and well-being
• How parents and caregivers can support meaningful connection in everyday life
Featured panelists will include:
• Angela Moyer, PsyD, Psychologist, Professional Training, School and Community Programs, Child Mind Institute
• Mercy Quezada, Youth Panelist and Child Mind Institute Youth Mental Health Academy Participant
• Joan Steinberg, President, Morgan Stanley Foundation (moderator)
