  • Research indicates that 60% of young people experience childhood adversity, leading to increased risks of social isolation.
  • Assessment involved literature reviews, behavioral studies, and brain imaging techniques to understand stress processing.
  • Findings highlight the need for interventions that promote supportive friendships to protect mental health for at-risk youth.
