Growing up is hard! Most of adolescent/Young Adult years are spent between being too old and not old enough to make decisions about your life.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates adolescents aged between 12 to 17 in the US, from the year 2018 to 2019:

• 15.1% of adolescents had a large depressive episode

• 36.7% of adolescents experienced long-lasting feelings of hopelessness

• 8.9% of adolescents had self-injurious thoughts and behaviors
