Early Signs Matter: Strategies for Supporting Youth Mental Health

It’s no secret that our youth are struggling with their mental health. Roughly 1 in 5 children ages 3 to 17 has been diagnosed with a mental health condition, such as anxiety, depression, or a behavioral disorder. When children are struggling, the whole family suffers. In fact, working parents of a teen with mental health challenges are more likely to struggle with their own mental health challenges, regardless of the cause. They’re also more likely to feel stressed, lonely, and less productive.

Mental health challenges rarely start in crisis–early signs matter and subtle changes are worth noticing. But what’s the key to offering the right support at the right time?  And how can leaders and organizations design well-being programs that help employees and their families thrive?
