As the COVID-19 pandemic enters its third year, we are still working to fully understand its impacts – from lost lives and livelihoods, to years of learning loss in schools, to a complete rewiring of how we think about our interactions with others. And during that time, we have seen the emergence of a new crisis in mental health, with record rates of depression, anxiety, and stress. How will we recover from all of this? How will we build back resilience?
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be diving into these questions with a special four-part series called “Catalysts for Change: How Are You Feeling?” In our first episode, Jill spoke with Dr. Maurizio Fava, Chief of the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. In this episode, Jill speaks with John Crocker, founder and director of the Massachusetts Mental Health Consortium, and Director of School Mental Health & Behavioral Services for Methuen Public Schools, about the ways in which young people are experiencing and coping with mental health right now, and the role of schools in prevention and treatment.
