Description

Guest: Nadine Yousif, mental health reporter for the Star A new report by Sick Kids has revealed worryingly high rates of depression and other mental health issues in kids in the aftermath of the second wave of COVID-19. They did not just bounce back as many experts had predicted earlier. On “This Matters” today, we talk about what’s next as kids prepare to return to school in the fall amid deep concerns from medical health professionals who say going back to the “old normal” might not be enough to undo the harm of pandemic-related disruptions.
