This event is expired.
Join us on Friday, May 19, 2023, for Caminar's Speaker Series webinar with an esteemed panel of psychologists, clinicians and professors. The conversation will address large and compounding issues that, combined with other stresses of adolescence, contribute to a sense of persistent anxiety and depression; what happens when trauma in youth goes unaddressed; and how to find actionable ways to nurture hope and resilience in our youth.
Youth today have been subjected to climate crises, mass shootings, COVID-19, lethal drugs, polarized politics, and many other issues that have led to heightened anxiety, depression and distress. According to Mental Health America, over 2.7 million youth in America have severe major depression. It's critical that we address these issues, and improve our youth's resilience to prevent further mental health issues from continuing to pass down to future generations.
The panel discussion will include perspectives from:
-Elizabeth Allured, Clinical Psychologist and Educator at the Suffolk Institute
-Anne E. Brodsky, PhD, Professor and Chair of Psychology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC)
-Susan Clayton, PhD, Whitmore-Williams Professor of Psychology at the College of Wooster in Ohio
-Faria Tavacoli, public health major at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV)
Caminar's CEO, Mark Cloutier, MPP, MPH, moderating the panel. At the end of the panel discussion, there will be a Q&A led by media partner Rob Waters of MindSite News.
