The Growing Mental Health Crisis Of Our Girls

Text me your questions or feedback!Our girls are struggling more than boys. Why? Did you know that 1 out of every 4 teen girls has symptoms of major depression? This is compared with fewer than 1 in 10 boys. Girls are also twice as likely as boys to suffer from anxiety. We have a crisis on our hands. Award-winning journalist, Donna Jackson Nakazawa, joins me to discuss the topic. We talk about how the toxic stressors of social media and our culture are uniquely affecting girls' mental health. We share action steps from Donna’s book, Girls on the Brink, that you can use to help the girl in your life thrive - not just survive!Donna Jackson Nakazawa is the author of Girls on the Brink as well as four books that explore the intersection of neuroscience, immunology, and emotion, including The Angel and the Assassin and Childhood Disrupted.  Learn more about these topicsLearning to Listen to Your BodyBook Review: Girls and Sex, Boys and SexBook Review: Mothers Daughters and Body ImageBook Review: The Body Is Not An ApologyBlog: Parent-Child JournalColoring Book For GirlsJOIN my Newsletter Community.FOLLOW on Instagram.VISIT my Website.
