Shrewsbury teen’s mental health podcast aims to help fellow high school students
SHREWSBURY (CBS) — According to new data from the Centers for Disease Control, more than 40% of high school students reported poor mental health during the pandemic. To make matters worse, there is a shortage of therapists to treat these kids who are suffering from anxiety and depression. The CDC survey found four out of ten kids reported feeling “persistently sad or hopeless,” and one in five saying they have contemplated suicide. Compounding the crisis is the shortage of therapists needed to help treat these kids. That is part of the reason high school senior Katelyn Smith, who is from Shrewsbury, turned her brother’s old bedroom into a makeshift studio and started her own podcast called “Modern Adolescence.” She created a makeshift studio in her brother’s old bedroom, complete with video camera, lighting, and editing equipment. She researches mental health topics and schedules interviews with fellow classmates and professionals. Katelyn understands what it is like to live … [Read more...] about Shrewsbury teen’s mental health podcast aims to help fellow high school students
