National Governer’s Association: Youth Mental Health – Promoting Access And Affordability Of Quality Treatment And Care

“1 in 5 children or adolescents have a mental health or learning disorder. About 20% of those kids get the treatment that they need. And when we look across the country, 160 million people live in an area where there’s such a shortage of mental health providers that they couldn’t get the care they need even if they were able to move past the stigma and really break down those barriers to care.”

– Dave Anderson, Vice-President of School and Community Programs.
