Best Practices in School Mental Health
Prevalence rates of mental illness among U.S. children and adolescents continue to show that American youth are facing a mental health crisis. Among all children, about 1 in 5 youth have a diagnosable and treatable psychiatric disorder, yet only a quarter of these children who need mental health services are getting them. In Connecticut, that translates to 110,000 children who meet criteria for a diagnosable and treatable emotional-behavioral problem, but only 30,000 of these children may be receiving mental health services.
