The time is NOW...
We must raise awareness among parents, teachers, religious leaders, and our communities. Everyone should be aware of what’s happening with our kids. We think of “at-risk” teens as someone else’s child, but we cannot afford to continue to feel that way. The number of teens that are dying by suicide in this country is now of epidemic proportions. 20% of adolescent live with a mental health condition, and many go undiagnosed.
Did you know?
Are you aware of the level of risk that youth face today? After reviewing such dire statistics about teenagers, all I could think of was that this is absolute madness! Why has the media not focused more on discussing the increased risks that youth face today?
