If I was running this group the very first thing I would be looking to do is establish whether this is a crisis or whether they're just part of a crowd that has always existed but hasn't been organised into any form of group that could seek political/social resolutions to the problem. It's kind of essential information.
Before you can address the problem you need to know where it really comes from, and people really aren't good judges of that. You really need to dig around.
I don't have data easily available to share about this, but quite frankly, you have the harder job if you're going to claim that things are just about the same as they always were regardless of whatever else was going on at the same time. Proving a negative tends to be that way.
I know multiple people whose kids are too anxious to go to school and they have to call or text their kid to coax them to school every morning. I didn't know a single family/kid like that even 15 years ago (rural area though).
