Show Your Support for More Mental Health Care in Schools

Depression, anxiety, and suicidality among young people are at record levels. The situation is so troubling that the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and the Children’s Hospital Association jointly declared a national children’s mental health emergency late last year.

 

Every young person deserves to get the mental health care they need to be safe, happy, and healthy. But, despite the mental health challenges students are experiencing, few are receiving the services they need — and it's taking a toll on children, families, and educators alike.

 

Providing school mental health services is one of the most important things we can do to address this crisis and ensure a healthy and hopeful future for our youth by meeting students where they are — in schools.

 

We need your help. Add your name to our petition to tell policymakers that you support expanding mental health care in our schools. By adding your name, we’ll let you know about opportunities to contact your policymakers to push for more mental health for children and young adults.
