National Research and Trends
• There are an estimated 4.5 to 6.3 million children and
youth with mental health challenges in the United States.
• About two-thirds of these young people do not receive the
mental health services they need.
• In many communities, services for youth with mental
health challenges are unavailable, unaffordable, or may
not be sufficient to address their needs, leaving these
youth at risk for difficulties in school and/or the
community.
