Addressing the youth mental health pandemic BY BECKI NORTON, CUSD PSYCHOLOGIST
“Be sure your child is getting adequate sleep, eating healthy and getting exercise. Ensure they spend some quality time connecting with family and friends.”
Carpinteria is coping with a mental health pandemic following the viral pandemic that has deeply affected our youth.

These closures and lockdowns have caused mental health symptoms such as anxiety and depression among youth; they experienced social isolation or disconnection, and suffered dislocation and food insecurity due to the economic situation. Some were affected by illnesses or the loss of loved ones, especially children of color and low-income families. Mental health professionals have observed trends among students locally and nationally.
