This makes them incredibly useful but also creates a powerful draw that many people find hard to resist. It is important to manage digital literacy in an ever-growing digital world with healthy boundaries. People

Injury is one of the highest risk factors for depression among youth athletes. An athlete whose identity is strongly tied to their sport is also at higher risk for developing mental health concerns, especially when experiencing injury. They can lose their primary sense of self and the dreams, expectations and benefits that go along with their athletic identity.Joining me today is Camden Blum, a freshman at Babson College.

Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among teens in the U.S. and the number one cause in Colorado, where Robbie’s Hope began.

It is unrealistic to think that young people will completely refrain from trying alcohol, and/or other drugs during the life stage with the highest likelihood of experience-seeking and experimentation, their youth. Psychedelics present a paradox because of their potential therapeutic benefits for people with PTSD, depression and other mental health issues.

“An “anxious achiever” is an ambitious, career-focused individual who succeeds in life and professionally while also struggling with mental illness on a day-to-day basis. Anxious achievers are all around us, and they rarely take the time to rest their bodies or their minds. You, yourself, might be an anxious achiever if you find that you are goal-oriented, future-oriented, and take your work extremely seriously.
