Teen Girls Experiencing Increased Sadness and Violence: A Discussion with Utah Experts

The Utah Women & Leadership Project invites you to join us for our second Spring Women’s Leadership Forum.

According to a recently released Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, nearly 3 in 5 (57%) U.S. teen girls felt persistently sad or hopeless in 2021—double that of boys, representing a nearly 60% increase and the highest level reported over the past decade. It also discusses findings that teen girls are experiencing record high levels of violence, sadness, and suicide risk. LGBQ+ youth are at high risk as well. Dr. Susan Madsen will be moderating a panel with Utah mental health professionals—Drs. Christy Kane, Gina Hales, and Jenet Jacob Erickson—as well as the founder of Provo Girls Summit, Tanei Atagi Henry, who will discuss these concerning findings as they relate to girls and young women in the state of Utah. In addition to discussing the research findings, they will also share practical solutions on how parents, educators, religious leaders, and other influencers can strengthen girls and young women today.
