Jarkon Interviewed for News 12’s The New Normal

News 12 interviewed Psychiatrist Liat Jarkon, D.O., director of the Center for Behavioral Health, for its live segment The New Normal. Jarkon responds to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which finds that teen girls across the United States are “engulfed in a growing wave of violence and trauma,” and cites growing statistics of sexual assault. She advises K-12 schools to screen teens for mental health crises, much like NYITCOM does with its own medical students, noting that these screening tools can be extremely valuable in helping to identify at-risk students in need of support.
