A Better Youth Mental Health Policy "the federal government has expanded funding for universal mental-health programs, particularly school-based interventions. Such policies, which don’t target seriously mentally ill youth but instead try to improve all students’ “wellness,” may be well-intentioned, but they are not effective. Policymakers should pursue triage instead." "the treatment itself can make things worse. “Awareness” programs, for instance, can make kids glamorize or ruminate on mental states they previously hadn’t been inclined to indulge, to sometimes harmful ends. Just as D.A.R.E. didn’t succeed in reducing drug use and WebMD has not made people healthier, educating kids on a wide-range of disorders won’t prevent them from developing psychiatric issues." #wortharead #education #mentalhealth #socialmedia #humandevelopment https://lnkd.in/eucvSkPc
