After lockdown and remote school, a lot of children are still struggling to deal with difficult emotions, leading the U.S. surgeon general to declare youth mental health the “crisis of our time.”
That PSA is part of a whole new slate of Sesame Street content -- from shows to podcasts to educational resources -- aimed at teaching children and families about mental health.
