A Conversation with Dr. Sarah Y. Vinson on Supporting Youth Mental Health
This year, an unprecedented Surgeon General's declaration of a youth mental health crisis reified the message our nation's youth have been telling us for years - their mental health is in peril and we must act. On May 12, 2022, Harvard-trained Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr. Sarah Y. Vinson spoke about the genesis of this crisis, identified approaches to address it, and issued a call to action for all in attendance. She emphasized the importance of a societal commitment to the support of families and communities that set youth on a trajectory toward health. Watch the full presentation.
