One in five children and adolescents experiences a mental health challenge each year, according to the CDC. This means that issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and behavioral problems are incredibly common among kids and teens.
The prevalence of mental health struggles highlights that these challenges are part of the human experience—not a sign of personal failure. Seeking help is a vital step toward healing, just like seeing a doctor for a physical illness.
By normalizing conversations around mental health, we can break down stigma and encourage kids and teens to get the support they need. 💚
