The New York Times would like to hear from parents and adolescents who are dealing with mental health challenges.
The adolescent experience is changing. Over the last decade, anxiety and depression — along with self-harm and suicidal thoughts — have been on the rise among young people. We’d like to hear from parents and teenagers about their experiences dealing with mental health challenges, especially before the pandemic.
A reporter may be in touch with you to hear more about your story. We will not publish any part of your submission without contacting you first.
We welcome stories from parents and from adolescents over the age of 14.
