More –and younger –children are showing up to emergency rooms in mental health crisis. Clinical psychologist Jon Cox teaches young people skills to help them cope with stress, anxiety and depression. But he figured they might learn better if those lessons came in the form of game. So Cox designed one. It’s a card game called “Cosmic Battle Training” and it’s available on Amazon. Jon Cox works at the counseling and psychological services center at Brigham Young University. (Segment produced by Olivia Young.) (Photo by Jaren Wilkey/BYU Photo)
