HHS publishes a youth mental health advisory portal for parents and clinicians
The Surgeon General's office consolidates resources, data, and recommended actions in one place.
The HHS Office of the Surgeon General's youth mental health portal pulls together the 2021 advisory, the 2023 social media advisory, the 2023 loneliness advisory, and a curated set of resources for parents, educators, and clinicians.
It is one of the most useful starting points for a parent or teacher who has read the headlines and wants to know what the official guidance actually says — and what evidence sits behind it.
Visit the HHS portal for the full set of advisories and resources.
Mental Hum is a reading list, not a publisher. The summary above is our own editorial framing; the reporting and analysis live at the source.
