In this episode of the Love Local Chicagoland podcast, mental health experts Destiny Salazar and Susana Shymanik from Bridge Youth and Family Services discuss the current state of mental health in our communities. They explore the impact of COVID19 on children and teens, the barriers to accessing mental health services, and the importance of collaboration and community support. With advice for parents on communicating with their children and a number of resources to help, these two women bring muchneeded awareness and support for the critical problems our youth is facing today.
