The Crisis in Adolescent Mental Health | Tuesday, March 21, 2023 | 4 - 5 p.m. ET

Askwith Hall, Longfellow Building, 13 Appian Way, Cambridge, MA 02138

Young people are sending a clear signal of distress. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly every indicator of mental health challenge among high school students increased from 2011 to 2021. In this Askwith Education Forum, we’ll gather together to ask how community leaders, educators, and families can make sense of — and respond to — the crisis in front of us. With experts who look deeply at teen wellness from a variety of angles, we’ll offer a new set of responses and identify areas of hopeful intervention amid this sobering reality.
