Anxiety and depression are on the rise among today’s students, with 70% of teens seeing these issues as a major problem. 90% of cases of anxiety are treatable, but only one-third of those who suffer receive treatment. Watch this webinar from our Student Wellness Series to hear Dr. Lisa Strohman and Christine Ravesi-Weinstein discuss the various types of anxiety and how these disorders can impact students both physically and psychologically.
A psychologist, attorney, author, and mother, Dr. Lisa Strohman established Digital Citizen Academy to help keep families safe from online dangers. Her background working as a visiting scholar with the profiling unit at the FBI during one of the most tragic school shootings in the U.S. helped create her passion to help proactively prevent and educate students, educators, and parents on issues related to technology.
Christine Ravesi-Weinstein serves as a high school assistant principal in Massachusetts, and previously worked as a high school science department chair for four years and classroom teacher for 15. Diagnosed with anxiety and depression at 23, Christine began her journey toward mental wellness. She began a non-profit organization in June of 2017 aimed at removing the stigma of mental illness and promoting physical activity as a means to cope with anxiety.
