In this compelling episode of NP Pulse: The Voice of the Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Jessica Peck and guest Dr. Ashley Hodges dive deep into the adolescent mental health crisis, shedding light on the alarming trends affecting today’s youth. From the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to the pressure of growing up in a hyper-connected digital world, the discussion explores critical risk factors, early warning signs, and practical strategies for nurse practitioners and families alike.

Drawing from decades of clinical experience, Jessica and Ashley offer compassionate, expert insight on how to recognize and respond to adolescent mental health challenges, while highlighting resources, screenings, and training opportunities for NPs committed to making a difference.
