"iGen (the generation of young people born between 1995 and 2012) is showing mental health issues across a wide variety of indicators. They're more likely than young people just five or 10 years ago to say that they're anxious, that they have symptoms of depression, that they have thought about suicide or have even [attempted] suicide. So across the board, there's a really consistent trend with mental health issues increasing among teens."

This article is great for leaders to use when they aren't sure how to use technology. This many times happens in schools and principals may not know how to put a frustrated teacher at ease. This gives some great tips on using technology.
