Question

I enjoyed reading your post on this week's discussion. I agree that mental health is an increasing factor for juveniles. There has always been a gap in communication between generations but it has widened since the increase of technology, specifically social media. This makes it harder for parents and caregivers to relate to youth. Although they live in a physical world, social media is the world in which they function. This correlation is an area of research, prevention, and treatment for the Community Psychologist. As a CP, in order to transform the mental health of juveniles there must be research to change this ecological system (Nelson & Prilleltensky, 2010). Parents, school officials, and community leaders must understand the impact of media and its effect on minors. This understanding will foster better relationships and professional treatment plans. how to respond to an answer and a reference
