A Growing Crisis
We Can’t Ignore
The Mental Health CrisisAcross the country—and here in New Jersey—young people are experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and social isolation.
Research increasingly points to a powerful driver: excessive screen use, social media exposure, and addictive technology design.
The Digital DisconnectChildren are spending more time online and less time engaging in real-world connection, physical activity, and meaningful relationships.
At the same time, powerful tech platforms continue to expand rapidly, often without adequate safeguards for young users.
A Call for Collective ActionIf left unaddressed, this crisis will shape not only individual lives, but also the future of our workforce, families, and communities.
This is not just a parenting issue. It’s a public health and economic issue - and it requires collective action.
