Mental Health

 

Childhood and adolescent mental disorders affect many children and families. Students of all ages, genders, ethnic/racial backgrounds, and living in all regions of the United States experience mental disorders. It is estimated that 1 in 5 of children living in the United States experience a mental disorder in a given year. Early detection of childhood mental health problems, timely referral, and access to appropriate services leads to improvements in both mental disorder symptoms AND school performance.
