Dr. Katie: Senior Clinical Advisor @jedfoundation Author of award winning No More Mean Girls and The Happy Kid Handbook, Speaker, Professor of Social Work
Last week, I had the honor of speaking on a panel @aspenideas 2025 about youth mental health. While social media is certainly a factor in adolescent mental health, how we address it matters. Watch the full panel discussion here: https://t.co/9SGSuUrPlt
“Did you know that sleep deprivation is not good for your brain?
Research shows that insufficient sleep is associated with depression and anxiety, and increases in emotional reactivity and impulsivity.
Both quality and quantity of sleep are important.” @katiefhurley
“Across age groups, the transition can include some ups and downs. That’s okay.
When caregivers listen, empathize, and validate, young people feel heard and understood.
You don't have to fix the problems; you just have to show support.” ❤️ @katiefhurley
