Health professionals, advocates and teens join conversation on mental health
The University of Cincinnati's Kate Chard was a member of a recent panel discussion about mental health at Mason High School. Health professionals, advocates and young people came together and identified some problems and potential solutions to the systemic issue.
Chard, PhD, said it is important to treat parents alongside their children.
“If you’re not asking the parent how they’re doing, you’re going to miss the ability to have resources,” said Chard, UC professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience and director of PTSD programs at the Cincinnati VA.
Other panelists discussed the need for proactive rather than reactive mental health services, barriers to care and the importance of community effort to effect change.
