My recent research of Money, Mental Health and Adolescents revealed that teens’ subjective assessment of their financial status and the way they relate to that can be a key identifier of mental health issues. Mental health screenings rarely ask anything related to finances yet many kids with no outward signs of behavioral issues or mental stress are becoming more and more isolated and overwhelmed with their responsibilities to help support their family or the sense of hopelessness that they can’t make a difference. Covid has just exacerbated an already difficult situation.

This is such as serious issue, and I having been finding that individuals appear to be more depressed–primarily due to the social causation issues you noted. Uncertainty is not our friend. You also asked” Have you changed your client conversations?”

I would say, yes! I believe that in addition to providing access to tools and resources, I spend quite a bit more time, cheerleading and trying to build hope. And actually, that helps me feel better as well.
