Despite the best efforts of competent and well-intentioned parents and
caregivers, many children have mental health problems that interfere with
normal development, school and home life.
One study estimated that 1 out
of 5 children ages 9 to 17 had a mental or addictive disorder that caused
at least some impairment. Yet fewer than 20% receive needed treatment.
The World Health Organization estimates that by 2020,
childhood disorders will rise by more than 50% to become
one of the 5 most common causes of morbidity, mortality and disability
among children.
