A Weekend with St. Vincent: Addressing Kids’ Mental Health

Fresh Air Weekend features the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, as well as new program elements designed specifically for weekends. The weekend show includes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors, and musicians, and often features excerpts from live in-studio concerts.

This week on Fresh Air Weekend, Child psychiatrist Harold Koplewicz joins the show to discuss why young people are facing unprecedented levels of anxiety and depression. As the founder of the Child Mind Institute, he shares insights from his book “Scaffold Parenting,” and offers advice to parents on how to support their children’s mental health.

Meanwhile, St. Vincent talks about her new album and how it explores themes of life, death, and love. She emphasizes that she is not playing a persona but rather addressing universal experiences through tension, release, and sonic “jump scares” in her music.
