Past research and commonly accepted knowledge points to stigma as the main barrier to help-seeking behavior for mental health challenges, but the research is sparse when it comes to teens and young adults. Young people care about their mental health and want to talk about it in more ways than older generations. This presentation will explore the barriers and predictors of help-seeking behaviors among teens in the U.S., based on mixed-methods research conducted in 2023 by The Jed Foundation.
This webinar is brought to you by the Community College Health Coalition.
