Did You KNOW...
According to a recent study from the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health problems such as depression account for nearly half of all disability among young people age 10-24. More than 80% of youth in our Juvenile Court System suffer with a mental, emotional and /or behavioral disorder, and at least 60% of young adults with a serious mental illness are not able to complete high school and/or obtain gainful employment. National statistics indicate... former foster care youth are diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at 6 times the rate of the general population and double the rate of Veterans returning from War.
