Faith Communities and the Youth Mental Health Crisis (NC Council of Churches)
March 20 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
The mental health crisis affecting today’s youth is urgent, and faith communities have a critical role to play in addressing this challenge. Joining us for our next webinar of our Abundant Life Webinar Series: Faith Communities and the Youth Mental Health Crisis will be Dr. Trevor Eppehimer, PhD, who will offer insights on the recently published book The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, which highlights alarming trends in anxiety, depression, and other mental health struggles among young people in relation to social media, smartphones, and more.
During the webinar, participants will have an opportunity to hear practical strategies for how faith communities can respond. Faith leaders, youth ministers, and congregations can be powerful sources of support, offering safe spaces for healing and hope. Learn actionable ways to help youth build resilience, hear about healthy coping mechanisms, and foster a culture of emotional well-being. This portion of the webinar will provide tangible tools and insights to empower faith communities to make a meaningful difference in the mental health of young people.
Join us to learn how your faith community can become part of the solution, supporting the next generation in navigating the complexities of mental health with strength and hope.
