How to Be a Better Human (TED) | What Kids Actually Need Today

“There’s a lot of alarm about the teen mental health crisis … but parents in our data are experiencing anxiety and depression at around the same rate as teens are. We would be just as right to sound the alarm about a parent mental health crisis.” — Richard Weissbourd

Last year, MCC Director Richard Weissbourd was a guest on TED’s “How to Be a Better Human” podcast. In the episode, he provides a distillation of his unique point of view and Making Caring Common’s mission. The conversation, hosted by Chris Duffy, also provides thoughtful, practical advice for parents and those who care for children and young people.
