As high school and college students wind down their spring terms and prepare for summer, it’s a critical time to tune into their mental health and consider how to engage in conversations about it.

Pete Scalia spoke with Dr. Gary Grosel, Chief Medical Officer at UnitedHealthcare, to discuss the report's findings and share tips on how to help your students with their mental and behavioral health.
