There's a youth mental health crisis happening in America and the statistics are jarring, especially among young girls.

[The Brookline Center @BrooklineCenter]

For girls ages 12 to 17, the proportion of visits to the E.R. for tics nearly tripled during the pandemic as of January 2022. Visits also doubled for eating disorders, and there were increases related to anxiety, trauma and stress and obsessive-compulsive disorders.

Thank you @marty_walsh for calling attention to mental health during this time. This last year has been challenging for so many and as we all celebrate our holidays in new ways, we encourage you to take time to care for your mental health.

[Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh]

The end of the year is a time for reflection, and we will all be reflecting on a very difficult year. Many people have been hit hard by the pandemic. We have all had to make sacrifices. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, tired, or sad.
