Re: Mental health of youth- The influence of social networks

Another trend that worries me is the rise of 'influencer therapy'—where unlicensed personalities offer advice about trauma, mental illness, or medication. This can be dangerous. We must teach youth to verify sources and remember that not every confident voice is a qualified one.
