It’s 1 PM, and your teen is still lying in bed on their phone.

Is it summer boredom, or something more? Today’s always-on culture is taking a toll. “Bed rotting” can be both a symptom of mental health struggles and a cause of them. It’s hard for many parents and adults to fully empathize because we grew up in a very different world. That's where Jessalynn King comes in. As a licensed therapist, she sees young clients’ burdens firsthand — some unique to their generation, some all too familiar. Bullying, trauma, and anxiety don't take a summer break. And for many families, access to affordable mental health care is a barrier to getting kids the help they need. We're proud to partner with SIS Counseling to bridge that gap by offering affordable therapy to TIP clients and families. Swipe for Jessalynn's insights on what to watch for and what to do if you're concerned. → #YouthMentalHealth #TeenMentalHealth #AtlantaFamilies #MentalHealthMatters #ParentingTeens #AbsenteeismAwareness
