Huckleberry’s adolescent health services began in the basement of Huckleberry House, Huckleberry’s emergency youth shelter, and have since expanded. How have youth mental health needs changed over the last three decades and how are youth and families coping as we enter year three of the COVID pandemic?

Our panel of therapists discuss trends in adolescent health over the last thirty years including depression and anxiety, healthy teen decision-making, and academic stress as youth and families try to find balance and wellbeing during the COVID era.

Moderated by Jenny Debevec, MS, PPS, host of the Smells like Teen Parent podcast
