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.
