Protecting Youth Mental Health: The U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory

Supporting the mental health of our nation’s youth is a major priority for the Surgeon General. In a new Surgeon General’s Advisory, Dr. Vivek Murthy calls for a whole-of-society effort to mitigate the mental health impacts of the pandemic, to address longstanding challenges, and to prevent future mental health challenges. The advisory outlines actionable steps for young people and their families and caregivers, schools, health leaders, community organizations, funders, media and technology companies, employers, and governments to protect youth mental health. All of us have a role to play. Download the Advisory here.
