CONCORD — One in five adults and one in six children experience a mental health condition each year; recent data indicates half of all adults surveyed (51 percent) say they or a family member have experienced a severe mental health crisis.

The pandemic has had a profound impact upon children, youth, young adults and their families with the American Psychological Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and U.S. Surgeon General all declaring that our youth are facing a mental health emergency.
