San Antonio wants teens to report on their mental health — you, too, middle schoolers

Stanford University women's soccer team players wear warmup jerseys with"Mental Health Matters" on their backs and a butterfly patch to remember late goalie Katie Meyer, who died by suicide earlier in the year. The pandemic took a harsh toll on U.S. teen girls’ mental health, with almost 60 percent reporting feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness.

Morris is using the results to help inform programs under the SA Forward plan to improve community health in a partnership with the Metropolitan Health District. But last year’s roughly 1,000 responses weren’t enough to do really deep analyses on what the data showed in individual city council districts, he said.

But a report last month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on its 2021 survey on youth risk and behavior nationwide showed unprecedented reports of violence and trauma amid the coronavirus pandemic, particularly from girls, 57 percent of whom said they felt “persistently sad or hopeless.”

When his department presented the data from the first survey to school districts last year, Morris said, a disconnect became apparent between the resources available to students and students’ knowledge of how to access them. The city hopes to help work with outside groups to provide more resources but also help school districts advertize their own.
