In this powerful episode of It’s a Matter of Your Health, Dr. Veita Bland sits down with Dr. Nanette Funderburk of the SEL Group to unpack the troubling rise in suicides among young people.
They discuss:
• The intense pressures young people face in today’s hyperconnected world
• How “protecting” kids from failure has weakened emotional resilience
• Why brain development plays a major role in risky decisions
• What warning signs adults must not ignore
• Practical, compassionate steps anyone can take to support struggling youth
This conversation is honest, eye-opening, and full of hope — a must-listen for parents, educators, caregivers, and communities who want to keep our kids safe.
