• One in 5 children between the ages of 13 and 18
  have or will have a serious mental illness, and
  50 of all mental illness begin by age 14.

• Due to several factors, the average delay between
  the onset of symptoms and intervention is 8-10
  years. Untreated childhood illness can not only
  have a lifelong impact, but children also run the
  risk of dropping out of school, attempting
  suicide, or getting into legal trouble.
