One of the negative impacts of COVID-19 has been the toll the pandemic has taken on adults’ and students’ mental health.
As local municipalities and school districts continue to assess the changes in mental health, the Princeton Youth Advisory Committee (PYAC) sought to address the topic of mental health directly in a forum discussion about potential solutions, current findings, and pandemic effects facing Princeton students and youth.
The panel discussion on March 11 featured Council President Leticia Fraga; Corner House Prevention Programs Coordinator Riva Levy, who is also a clinician at Princeton House Behavioral Health; Princeton Family Institute social worker and clinician Claudia Webster; and Princeton High School senior Yash Roy, who is a student liaison to the Princeton Board of Education.
