Nearly 20 percent of youth between 13 and 18-years-old experience severe mental disorders in a given year. About half the number of children with a mental illness do not receive any services or help. While data and numbers tend to focus on older youth and teens, young children and be heavily impacted as well. On this episode the supervisor for the Pediatric Therapy Program at Mental Health Cooperative, Brianna Grant, sits down with Roots and Wings host, Jonquil Newland, to discuss therapy options available as well as tips for mental health conversation starters between adults and the youth in their lives.
