Being a teenager is such a pivotal time in a person's life. Relationships with peers are EVERYTHING and emotions are heightened as we are figuring out who we are and our place in the world. Add to that the isolation of a global pandemic and it is not a surprise that the mental health of adolescents was severely impacted.

“It was isolating and it was hard to fathom life before isolation. And I know after, it was so bizarre and I was absolutely horrified to go back to school.” - Elyse Jewel

Join Paul Deger and Marjorie Morrison as they discuss how the eating habits, socializing and routines changed for teenagers during the pandemic, as well as hear from experts about what parents can do to help their teens navigate this time in their lives.

Meet the Guest and Experts:
