Aspen Ideas: Health—Anxious Girls, Lonely Boys

About This Event

The youth mental health crisis is getting a lot of attention, but there has been less emphasis on the gender gap that highlights the differing needs of girls and boys. While young women report high levels of anxiety and depression, they also tend to have richer networks of trusted friends and confidantes. In contrast, far too many young men are being swept up in an epidemic of isolation, social disconnection, and aimlessness. Distinctive, but equally urgent, these mental health challenges call for a dedicated response that respects and supports the emotional lives of our children.
