Mental Health & Behavioral Health and How To Support Teens

If you’re raising a teen, you know moodiness comes with the territory.
Teenagers are sensitive creatures and they’re not always emotionally
mature enough to process what’s happening around them–especially
in a global pandemic. How well is your teen handling the stress of
current events, a disrupted school schedule and being away from
their friends?

Dr. Sydney Sawyer, a Pediatrician at Marin Health, discusses how
the pandemic is affecting teens at a stage in their development where
they would normally be expanding their horizons and becoming more
independent. Is your teen is struggling? Can you help them build
resiliency? At what point should you call a pediatrician or other health
professional? Get answers to these questions and more.
