Psychology Director gives mental health warning signs for kids

WATCH – WATCH FOR KIDS AT PLAY –

August 4, 2021 – “We’ve seen an increase still in ingestion of drugs, and a significant amount, some suicide and some not. And then others increase in eating disorders. So the disordered eating increase has been significant over the past few months,” she said. And be sure to talk to your child openly about their mental well-being. “I think the great part about all of this is it’s brought mental health to the forefront and recognizing that we were in a mental health epidemic before the COVID-19 pandemic and the great importance that has to be placed on not only taking care of our physical health, but our mental health and well being as well,” she said.

Katzenstein recommends visiting your child’s school before the first day of class so they can feel more comfortable about going back in person and learn where everything is again.
