One in five children suffer from a treatable mental health challenge, of those only 20% get the treatment they need to heal. That equates to approximately 130,000 Mississippi youth struggling with a mental health challenge. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among teens and adolescents, most with an underlying behavioral health crisis at the time of death. Half of all behavioral health concerns onset before the age of 14.
