John,

One of the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is the impact on youth
mental health. For more than a year, school-aged kids have been dealing with
major disruptions to their normal patterns of education, socialization, and
emotional development.

It's a concern we shouldn't ignore -- and the good news is that we can take
steps now to help young people who may be struggling.

Dr. Tamar Mendelson, a Bloomberg Professor of American Health and Director of
the Center for Adolescent Health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public
Health, offered her expert insights on the issue -- and what can be done to
support young people -- for our Road to Recovery series.

Over time, we'll have a better understanding of how the pandemic has impacted
young people. But we don't have to wait to know that we can make a difference
for them.

It's vital to take action now, as Dr. Mendelson said: "Adolescence is such a
time of change and malleability that if we are able to intervene and support
young people, we can really enhance their capacities for coping and reduce or
even prevent the prevalence of mental disorders."
