‘@Talkspace: Mental Health and Youth: Breakdown or Breakthrough-Thursday October 25th

10:30am-5:30pm
Times Center
242 W 41st Street

Come learn about the selfies. The blue-lit faces. The vaping epidemic. The exposure to gun-violence at school.

Whether you call them Gen Zers, post-millennials, or the iGeneration, you know you’ve found them when you see young people sitting together in total silence, everyone glued to their phones.

Statistically speaking, today’s youth are known both as the “connected” generation — but also the loneliest. Research has found that loneliness has the same impact on mortality as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, making the epidemic of isolation even more dangerous than obesity. What are the factors making the mental health crisis of teens and post-millennials today so acute? How are the problems of today’s youth different than previous generations? And most importantly, what can we do about it?
