1 in 6 kids in the U.S. between the ages of 6 and 17 experience a mental health disorder each year. That's not a small number. That's someone in almost each classroom, each team, each family. Behind each number is a child, and knowing the signs of mental health struggles can help you recognize when one needs support.
Here's what to look out for:
- Changes in mood, sleep, or behavior
- Pulling away from people they love
- Worries or fears that seem to be taking over
- Drastic shifts in eating or personality
These things aren't just "a phase" to wait out. They're worth paying attention to.
If something feels off, trust that feeling. Starting the conversation is always the right move.
