EPISODE SUMMARY
Mental Health Trailblazer’s focus on youth and adolescent mental health continues with a conversation around bullying. According to the US Surgeon General, one in five high-schoolers in America report being bullied, and one in six have experienced cyberbullying. The mental health consequences can be severe with consequences for the victims, the perpetrators, their families, communities and wider society, lasting a lifetime.
