Description

Nia Heard-Garris, MD, MBA, MSc, pediatrician and researcher at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, explains how feeling engaged, included, and safe at school acts as a protective buffer against depression for bullied adolescents—though surprisingly, it doesn't help with anxiety.
