Sign On: Urge Congress to Invest in Youth Mental Well-Being

In the U.S., over 14 million children and adolescents have been diagnosed with a mental health condition, including over 2.5 million youth that have been diagnosed with major depression. This is a public health crisis. 

But right now, historic underinvestment in mental health services globally is putting every child at risk.

Together, we are asking Congress to take three crucial actions to support mental health in children: prioritize mental health in foreign assistance by co-sponsoring the MINDS Act, improve youth mental health data systems by cosponsoring the Youth Mental Health Data Act, and ensure comprehensive funding for mental health services is provided to support children.
