Remote Learning Day 7: Stress, Mental Health and Anxiety

Greetings Issues Scholars,
Last week, many of you posted videos to flipgrid that eloquently described the state of your mental health during this pandemic. However, some day, this crisis will be over, yet for many, struggles with mental health, stress and anxiety will continue. Thus, I'd like to start considering those issues outside of the Covid-19 crisis. Here are our tasks for today:

1) I'd like to have a short Zoom call at 3:15 today so that I can introduce and preview the rest of the unit, we'll do a little brainstorming and I'll make a few comments. (15 minutes). This will include creating a shared document that lists our own personal "Stress Reduction Tips"

2) The larger part of your work today will be to read the following article:
Why Are More American Teenagers Than Ever Suffering From Severe Anxiety
(PDF Version)
As you read, you should make note of parts of the article that you agreed with/disagreed with/found interesting as well as some of the stress reduction strategies mentioned.
