School-age children in America are facing an emerging mental health crisis. What can parents and educators do to protect the wellbeing of children and teens?
Hopkins at Home is proud to present "In Conversation," a new series outlining the intersection between faculty research at the School of Education and other schools & centers at Johns Hopkins University.
In this first installment, Christopher Morphew, dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Education, will host a two-part conversation on the current adolescent mental health crisis in America through the dual lenses of public health and education policy. Joining Dean Morphew are Elise Pas, a research professor in the department of mental health within the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Jodi Miller, a postdoctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins School of Education.
This recording is the first part of the conversation, focused on defining the scope, scale, and current landscape of this critical issue. To watch the second part of the conversation, please click here: https://youtu.be/-y8mysXypq0
