According to the CDC, adolescent mental health in the U.S. was worsening before the COVID-19 pandemic, and now, the nation’s youth is experiencing a mental health crisis.
At the beginning of the year, West Virginia’s Department of Education partnered with the Cook Center for Human Connection to offer free online mental health resources to students and their parents. The pilot project began in just five counties but education officials were so impressed with the feedback they received that in May they expanded the program to include all of West Virginia’s 55 counties.
The U.S. Surgeon General has issued multiple advisories in recent years, sounding the alarm on the mental health of the nation’s children.
