At a very young age, I started struggling with my mental health. Sadly, support didn't reach me until I was well into my teenage years. My story is not unique. Many young children, especially those who are having a hard time at home, experience depression, anxiety, or other issues that are not addressed. This can lead to children having difficulty sleeping, having a hard time in school, and can cause social or behavioral issues. 

Children's mental health is a global issue that is often overlooked. It has been reported by the World Health Organization, that up to 20% of children worldwide are dealing with mental health struggles. Nearly two-thirds of young people with known mental health conditions have never received treatment or help for these issues that go on to impact them for the rest of their lives.

That is why it is my goal to spread awareness about children's mental health issues and to advocate for accessible mental health services for young children.
