Join MPR News host Angela Davis and mental health experts to talk about ways you can support your own well-being, so you can take care of your child and family. COVID-19 is putting a lot of pressure on parents and guardians. Child care is complicated, when available, and managing kids’ distance learning adds new challenges. How are you handling these competing demands and coping when the stress becomes toxic? We’ll explore useful coping strategies and when it’s time to ask for help with a mental health concern.
College students have been reporting an increase of mental health symptoms in recent years. Each year, about one in five people are dealing with a mental health condition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About three-fourths of people with lifelong mental illnesses experience symptoms by the time they turn 24 years old, so young adults need support to help identify opportunities to connect with care.
