Young people all over this nation are dealing with mental illness. These people need help as this issue continues to be underplayed. 1 in every 5 adolescents have a mental disorder, stigma and access issues continue to deny to help when it is most needed, 11 teens commit suicide per day, that is no where near the amount of attempts. Proper care is needed to help these people, They need a place to feel safe when society keeps denying them that. The cost of not helping them is much greater then not doing anything. This problem is underestimated and ignored as it hurts young people every day. We have been making teens feel bad about this for a long time, silencing them. But silence is not the answer.
