Audio By Carbonatix

Mental health advocate and author Sam Eaton joins Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust to discuss the growing mental health crisis facing Gen Z. Drawing from his own battle with depression and a suicide attempt, Eaton explains why today's teens face unique pressures from smartphones, social media and constant online comparison. He also offers practical advice for parents seeking to help their children navigate the digital world in a healthy way. Eaton shares why community, purpose and honest conversations are essential for emotional well-being. The discussion also explores what Scripture says about depression and why faith and mental health care can work hand in hand. Eaton is the author of You Can Do This, a new book designed to help readers build resilience and hope one day at a time. He also is the founder of Recklessly Alive.
