Dr. Fenkel oversees all aspects of clinical programming at Charlie Health— the largest provider of virtual IOP treatment programs for teens, young adults, and families navigating mental health challenges. We discuss why it’s so important to seek evidence-based treatments for mental health challenges and first steps to take to find treatment, how Covid has affected teen mental health and its treatment, why family systems can often cause loneliness and isolation, negative effects and warning signs of loneliness and isolation, why many teens don’t take the steps to decrease their loneliness and how to break this cycle, ways a teen’s support system can help them to feel less lonely, advice for parents of teens experiencing loneliness, and how teens can increase connectedness and independence.
