Building Kinder Communities: Addressing Youth Mental Health with Born This Way Foundation |...

We are experiencing a youth mental health crisis (https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/news/20230524/mental-health-issues-for-adolescents-spiked-during-pandemic). Young people worldwide are increasingly struggling to manage the escalating stress and complications of everyday life. In 2021, 42% of high school students reported feeling so sad or hopeless (https://www.webmd.com/teens/news/20231009/less-than-half-of-adolescents-with-depression-got-help-in-2021) for two consecutive weeks that they would stop engaging in their usual activities, up from 26% in 2009. Is there a way to eliminate the stigma around mental health and make kindness cool? We spoke to Claudia-Santi F. Fernandes, Ed.D., LPC, MCHES (https://bornthisway.foundation/team/claudia-santi-f-fernandes/), and Rahul Rangan, MBBS (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahulrangan/) of Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by Lady Gaga and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, about the ways peer-to-peer support can benefit today’s youth, the vital mental health resources needed in schools, and the impact of Born This Way Foundation’s Be There Certificate (https://bornthisway.foundation/current-programs/be-there-certificate/) and their Channel Kindness (https://www.channelkindness.org/) program on building a kinder and braver world.
