The American Academy of Pediatrics has declared the mental health of our children a national emergency. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy met with students from Lincoln High School at the Jackie Robinson YMCA in Mountain View to talk about it.
One of the keys to addressing children’s mental health is changing the stigma surrounding it, making sure children are driving the strategy for change and that they know resources are available, Dr. Murthy told students.
Especially after their lives were turned upside down by the pandemic. Rady Children’s Hospital treated a staggering 3,000 children between September 2020 and August 2021 who’d thought about suicide, according to a spokesperson.. He’s hoping his visit will help Lincoln High students understand there are people available to help.
