В Милуоки подростки обсудили проблемы ментального здоровья и влияние соцсетей на выставке

Milwaukee teens hear from mental health mentors at art museum event MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Dozens of Milwaukee teens gathered at the Milwaukee Art Museum on Thursday, Aug. 13 for a mental health event organized by Neu-Life Community Development, where three guest speakers shared their own experiences with mental health struggles. Social media is one of the most common concerns Neu-Life hears about from teens, according to Executive Director Jody Rhodes. "Social media, and the joy it can bring but also the tears and trauma it can bring," Rhodes said. "We are talking about that and what is a healthy amount of being on social media and how to handle things that are said on social media and how to just be nicer to one another, especially on social media." Museum staff who helped organize the event said the space is meant to be a resource for anyone's mental health, regardless of age. "It is our city's museum, so to me this should be part of everyone's mental health toolkit," said Kantara Souffrant of the Milwaukee Art Museum. "I really want people to understand that this is your space and also this is an amazing place to access Lake Michigan and the healing powers of our environment as well." The museum is open until 8 p.m. every Thursday, with pay-what-you-can admission that day.
