GENERAL RESOURCES

 

MENTAL HEALTH

Students may experience ups and downs in their mental health and well-being, which is a natural part of adolescent development. At the same time, adolescence is often the time that individuals may experience the initial onset of mental health illness and disorders such as anxiety or depression. The resources below offer information and resources on topics central to health and wellness as well as mental health issues that students may confront.

  • THE TEEN BRAIN: 7 THINGS TO KNOW: Research and information compiled by the National Institute of Mental Health focusing on the change and development of the adolescent brain and implications for behavior and mental health.
  • 8 WAYS TO HELP TEENS COPE WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING BLUES: Depression: Adolescent depression is increasing at an alarming rate. Recent surveys indicate that as many as one in five teens suffers from clinical depression. This is a serious problem that calls for prompt, appropriate treatment.
  • ANXIETY: Someone with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) worries excessively about many different things and is not able to control his or her worry. The worrying and anxiety causes serious emotional distress, and causes problems at school and in relationships.

  • SUICICE: If you or any of your friends are feeling this way and have had thoughts of suicide, the most important thing to do is to talk immediately with an adult you trust. If you want to remain anonymous call the hotline number 1-800-273-8255 or go to the NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION LIFELINE and ask them to help you figure out what to do.

  • EATING DISORDERS: Eating disorders are real, complex, and devastating conditions that can have serious consequences for health, productivity, and relationships.
  • SUBSTANCE ABUSE: Think you might have a problem? Want the facts about addiction? If you are worried about a family member or friend, check out: ALATEEN

 

DATING AND RELATIONSHIPS

That’s Not Cool provides tools to help you draw your digital line about what is, or is not, okay in your relationships.
