Leadership & Productivity with Elizabeth Olive Academy

According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control in 2019, well before the pandemic, 1 in 6 young people reported creating a suicide plan which is a 44% increase since 2e009. The pandemic exacerbated it as young people were isolated or put in a fractured environment. Tony discussed the causes of mental health and possible ways to manage mental health and offer support to the child experiencing mental health issues.
