Military Teen Risk of Depression, Addiction & Suicide

Linda Kreter and Military Network Radio presents: Military Teen Risk of Depression, Addiction & Suicide. Sandy Fowler, co-founder of Dasium, Inc. shares the facts about the additional military stressors placed on our teens and young adults. From safeguarding their parents' careers to regularly relocating and being the "new kid", military teens are at double the incidence for depression. Teen suicide is now the second reason for death before adulthood (the first being homicide). This also coincides with higher rates of depression, addiction, anxiety, cutting, and social marginalization. Learn how to best understand -- and not judge -- military teens, and help them with communication, connection, and belonging. Pamela Eggleston joins Linda today.
