NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Symptoms of poor mental health—including emotions like anxiety, depression and stress—are far more widespread than reported by high school students at the height of the pandemic, according to a recent survey conducted by RethinkFirst. RethinkFirst is the leading software and solutions provider in behavioral health and parent company of RethinkEd, a pioneering EdTech platform powering the potential of educators and students.

This rate is more than two times higher than children had previously self-reported, and follows the AAP-AACAP-CHA declaring a national emergency in child and adolescent mental health.

Key Points:
