The escalating adolescent mental health crisis has been met with a new array of options for direct youth access to mental health care online via apps, virtual visits with health professionals, and other digital therapies. What do youth think about these resources and how do they engage with them? How can youth, parents, and caregivers identify apps that are effective and appropriate?

Join Children and Screens for the #AskTheExperts webinar “Mental Health Apps, ChatBots, and Digital Therapy for Kids: What You Need to Know” on Wednesday December 11, 2024 at 12pm ET.  An expert panel of psychologists, researchers, and behavioral health experts will share the current landscape of online mental health care for youth. Explore how these resources are being accessed by diverse youth from both privileged and underserved communities, how they reflect traditional models, what new possibilities are emerging,  and the benefits and potential risks for youth seeking support online.
