Understanding the Relationship Between Parent and Teen Mental Health (HLC)

The medical community declared a national emergency in child and adolescent mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now new research is helping to shine a light on another important aspect of the story — the mental health of parents and the influence of their health on teens. We discuss strategies to better support the mental well-being of parents and caregivers, with a view to preventing anxiety and depression in adolescents.
