Youth Mental health crisis

The mental health of adolescents and young adults globally, nationally, and specifically in the City of Philadelphia is facing an unprecedented, escalating crisis. This period, spanning ages 14 to 25, is developmentally critical, yet it is characterized by high prevalence rates of disorder and systemic failures in treatment access. Understanding the magnitude of this problem requires examining data across multiple scales.
