Meaningful perspective shared by Mike Males and San Francisco Chronicle. To state the obvious, understanding and treating mental suffering in youth is complicated. And, there is not one sweeping data point that can objectify the mental life of youth. Everything is “in part.” BeMe Health was built to convert that mobile device from a tool of teen stress into a trusted mental health ally. Too many do not have the fortune of residing in secure spaces (including and especially devoid of psychological and/or physical safety). If our company can offer a helping hand in feeling less alone while equipping them with skills and connection until they ingest hope, we will have done a small something. AND, the possibility as an ecosystem is so much bigger than our little company. We all know there is no way to build character without suffering. Yet, we can step in as an industry here with as much innovation as possible (the more the merrier!) to support youth in leveraging their pain to create a better life rather than succumb to devastating low self-esteem and self-loathing. Let’s lead with optimism as youth can actually be the greatest beneficiary of the net-new opportunities in the mental health industry — and we can’t think of anything more inspiring at BeMe. #WithTeensInMind #supportivemedia https://lnkd.in/ecpcWU8t

1moOkay that really hit. I couldn’t imagine what the reasoning was going to be but as a childhood SA survivor… Wow. Yes. This. And it lands especially so being an elder millennial whose adolescence predates social media as it exists now, although it DID exist in a way. And from personal experience, I can attest that this is true. Great share, Nicoletta “Nicki” Tessler, Psy.D., M.B.A. Thank you.
