There are a lot more teenagers who are concerned about their own mental health or the mental health of their peers. There are a lot more parents calling on behalf of their young children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And, just like with physical problems, McGann said, treating mental health issues early is almost always easier, and more effective, than letting the issues go unresolved.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"fullattribution\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/__utm.gif?utmac=UA-5828686-4&#038;utmdt=Walker-Ford+Community+Center+hosts+mental+health+resources+fair&#038;utme=8(APIKey)9(MDA4MzU1MzUzMDEzMTkyMzAwMzY5MjY1Mw004)\"\/><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":11854,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[1136,1135],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Walker-Ford Community Center hosts mental health resources fair - WFSU Local Routes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wfsu.org\/local-routes\/wfsu-news\/walker-ford-community-center-hosts-mental-health-resources-fair-5\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Walker-Ford Community Center hosts mental health resources fair - WFSU Local Routes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As COVID cases fall and prices rise, it seems people are dealing with more stress &#8211; and mental health issues &#8211; than ever.
