Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In 2021, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) declared a “National State of Emergency in Children’s Mental Health.” 1 The statement identified how the pandemic exacerbated the already worsening mental health problem among US youth due to the compounding challenges faced by youth and acknowledged the significant impact of this mental health crisis on youth. This declaration made a call for schools, policymakers, and advocates for children and adolescents to prioritize and focus on pediatric mental health.
