April 10, 2024 – Many clinicians who work with young patients with mental health issues agree they lack enough resources to treat kids and that patients are worse off now than before the pandemic — but they don’t exactly agree on why that is. Many schools don’t even have guidance counselors for students to go to talk to if needed. Some will have counselors only once a week. POLITICO’s survey received 1,400 responses from clinicians, including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, school psychologists, pediatric nurse practitioners, pediatricians and nurses.
A majority of respondents reported a decline in mental well-being among kids since the start of the pandemic.
