Facts this movie discusses include
Since 2012, there has been a 50% increase in teens reporting depressive symptoms.
Half of adults with mental health challenges experienced symptoms before age 15.
Teens are recommended to sleep 8-10 hours each night, however, 41% get 7 hours or less (American Academy of Sleep Medicine).
Of those with devices in their rooms, 36% of teens wake at night to check them.
By listening to our teens, providing support, and connecting them to appropriate resources and services, families have an important role to play.
Our teens don't need to suffer, and we can help!
