In 1985, 18 percent of teens said they felt stressed “all the time,” according to a UCLA study. Fast-forward to 2017, and that number soared to 41 percent. Our nation’s youth are undergoing a mental health crisis. But why, and what can we, as parents, do about it? Tune in as Exceptional Parenting Podcast host, Stefanie Boucher, sits down with long-time educator and youth counselor, Sal Caraviello, to discuss what has changed in the teen landscape over the past 30 years and what we can do to get things back on track for our kids. This is "Part 1" of a two-part series.
