Many children have mental health problems that interfere with normal development and functioning.
In the United States, one in ten children and adolescents suffer from mental illness severe enough to cause some level of impairment. Yet, in any given year, it is estimated that about one in five children receive mental health services. Children and families are suffering because of missed opportunities for prevention and early identification, fragmented treatment services, and low priorities for resources. Post secondary outcomes are also poor, including multiple jobs, criminal behavior, and unemployment. The Report draws on the testimony of 300 presenters and participants who gathered in Washington DC under the Surgeon General's auspices in Sept 2000.
