Mental health matters.
-
Suicide is now the second leading cause of death in young people aged 10 - 24.
-
One in five children aged 13 - 18 have, or will have a serious mental illness.
-
Many children and teens feel unsupported, lonely and are losing hope that things will get better.
-
Our goal is to reduce the number of children and teens experiencing the pain of mental health issues while supporting and providing hope to those that do.
