Last week, we had the privilege of attending an important community conversation at North Idaho College focused on Youth Mental Health.
Across the nation, young people are facing a growing mental health crisis. Rates of anxiety, depression, self-harm, and school absenteeism are on the rise, while students and schools alike are feeling the strain.
“Breaking the Silence: Addressing Youth Mental Health” brought together healthcare professionals, educators, and students for a powerful dialogue aimed at tackling this urgent issue. Through data, personal stories, and global insights, the conversation explored how families, schools, and communities can come together to better support youth mental well-being—and take meaningful action.
