While most youth are healthy, physically and emotionally, one in every four to five youth in the general population meet criteria for a lifetime mental disorder and as a result may face discrimination and negative attitudes. According to recent data, instances of experiencing persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness have risen percent, youth considering suicide have risen 37 percent, and youth attempting suicide have risen 20 percent. This presentation will address these trends and other factors influencing youth mental health and the leadership role that social workers can play in addressing and staying ahead of them.
