Teens are reporting struggles with their mental health at unprecedented rates, but resources to help these young people deal with anxiety or depression can be difficult to access. An innovative community partnership between Northwestern Medicine investigators and a Chicagoland library is laying the groundwork to bring digital mental health resources to historically underrepresented teens living in and near the west side of Chicago and suburban Cook County.

In this episode, Ashley Knapp, PhD, assistant professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and Robert Simmons, MA, director of social services and public safety at Oak Park Public Library, discuss the project and how it could be a model for future health interventions.
