Our Cause:

Being a parent is tougher today than ever. When one of your children is having trouble it can only compound a parent's already-hard work. Our foundation is dedicated to bringing light and awareness to these often unnoticed struggles. For too long, parents have been left out in the dark to deal with this on their own. We are trying to change that.

Mental disorders among children are described as serious changes in the way children typically learn, behave, or handle their emotions, which cause distress and problems getting through the day. Many children occasionally experience fears and worries or display disruptive behaviors. If symptoms are serious and persistent and interfere with school, home, or play activities, the child may be diagnosed with a mental disorder.

What is the Impact

Mental health is important to overall health. Mental disorders are chronic health conditions—conditions that last a long time and often don’t go away completely—that can continue through the lifespan. Without early diagnosis and treatment, children with mental disorders can have problems at home, in school, and in forming friendships. Mental disorders can also interfere with a child’s healthy development, causing problems that can continue into adulthood.
