Dear Colleagues,
Adolescents face a myriad of problems that can interfere with normal development and functioning. According to the NIMH, one in ten children in the U.S. suffer from a mental disorder severe enough
to cause some level of impairment. Although some problems are short-term and don't necessitate treatment, others are persistent and require professional attention. Today's newsletter touches on a few of the challenges confronting young people.
