Even before the pandemic, anxiety and depression were becoming more common among children and adolescents, increasing 27 percent and 24 percent respectively from 2016 to 2019.  In 2020, there was also a 21 percent increase in the number of children experiencing behavior and conduct problems.  Parents and caregivers also experienced greater mental health needs (JAMA Pediatrics, 2022).  Using case examples, this event offers observations, insights and interventions of a teacher, a school counselor and a psychotherapist.  Discussion with the audience offers the opportunity to better understand possible institutional, cultural, historical and psychodynamic variables which influence the macro and micro pieces of the puzzle.

1. Discuss the multiple manifestations of stress, depression and anxiety that children and adolescents exhibit in schools.
