SUMMARY:Are the Kids Alright? It Depends.
DESCRIPTION:Our youth are connected to each other via social media\, and those relationships are meaningful and important. However\, youth spending time with peers\, in person\, is essential to their healthy development. Just published research indicates that youth are experiencing loneliness at higher levels now\, especially with the impact of COVID. The research has shown that teenagers and young adults are lonelier than any other age group\, and a national survey found that four out of 10 young people described themselves as feeling sad\, misunderstood\, suffering from FOMO and without anyone to talk to. Youth who are lonely may be as much as three times more likely to develop depression in the future\, and the impact of loneliness on mental health can last for years. Recently published research found that a significant predictor of satisfying romantic relationships\, adult work competence and quality of life in adulthood was positive peer relationships in middle and high school. This workshop will:   \n\nExamine research addressing youth and loneliness\, peer relationships and mental health; \n\n\nLook at the importance of developing and creating peer connections; \n\n\nReview strategies and resources in the social-emotional development and healthy peer relationships among youth \n\n\nIf you are interested in registering for one of our webinars\, please contact: \nAmy Nace \nEmail: alnace@pmyf.org \nPhone: 717-367-1536\, ext. 2

SUMMARY:The State of Youth Mental Health: Trends\, Risks and Realities
DESCRIPTION:The American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Institutes of Health Youth report that the mental health of U.S. children and teens is in crisis. The crisis is fueled by increasing rates of anxiety\, depression and suicidality among adolescents with schools and agencies addressing complex emotional\, behavioral and social needs of our youth. The current data is concerning\, with 40% of high-school students reporting persistent sadness or hopelessness\, 18% having experienced major depression and 10% having attempted suicide. This workshop examines the most significant mental health trends affecting children and adolescents\, including rising rates of anxiety and depression; the impact of chronic stress\, loneliness and social isolation; and digital and social media pressures. \nPractical strategies that recognize early signs of distress\, strengthen protective factors and help build resilience will be provided\, along with a range of resources for school and agency staff. \nIf you are interested in registering for one of our webinars\, please contact: \nAmy Nace \nEmail: alnace@pmyf.org \nPhone: 717-367-1536\, ext. 2

SUMMARY:Emerging Trends and Future Challenges in Youth Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:The landscape of youth mental health is rapidly evolving in response to social\, technological and environmental changes. In recent years\, there has been a significant increase in the numbers of children and adolescents experiencing major depressive episodes and anxiety\, mood\, attention and behavior disorders. One in five of our youth experience mental illness\, while nearly one in three adolescents will meet the criteria for an anxiety disorder by the age of 18. This workshop will examine the latest trends\, data and research shaping the mental well-being of today’s young people. Participants will explore the factors influencing youth mental health – including social media exposure\, post-pandemic adjustment\, identity development\, academic pressures and global uncertainty – and consider how these forces intersect.  \nIf you are interested in registering for one of our webinars\, please contact: \nAmy Nace \nEmail: alnace@pmyf.org \nPhone: 717-367-1536\, ext. 2
