YouTube Launches Dedicated Mental Health Resource Section for Teenagers
The new video shelves showcase content from mental health professionals and organizations that teenagers frequently engage with.
This is a necessary and important offering, esp. if a teen is searching for mental health topics. My only concern is how much reliable information can you put into a 5-second video? See: Teenagers attention span. #resources #topics #delivery #socialmedia
