Unplugged: The Connection Between Phones and Teen Mental Health

  • Summary

  • In this episode, Dr. M-R dives into the important topic of mental health among middle and high school students. Anchored around the book The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, the conversation features insights from two Hopkins High School students and three educators, exploring the complex relationship young people have with their phones—a key way they connect socially. Could this shift in behavior be fueling a mental health epidemic? Or maybe it’s more nuanced. We hear directly from our high schoolers on a potential cell phone ban in secondary schools and discuss how such policies might impact student mental health across middle and high school.

    Guests:
    Kim Campbell, West Middle School Dean of Students
    Jeff Matchette, Hopkins High School Counselor
    Yulonda Royster, Student Support Specialist
    Doyhup Anderson, High School Senior
    Sabrina Scott, High School Senior
