Feeling Stressed? You’re Not Alone. Let’s Figure It Out Together. 💙
YMCA of Greater Charlotte, with state funding, are promoting teen mental health awareness in response to rising challenges. Studies show 1 in 6 teens experience frequent negative emotions, and 1 in 4 have a diagnosed condition. CDC data highlights increased suicidal behaviors and depression since 2019, with 34% of high school students reporting poor mental health in 2021. The initiative aims to normalize mental health discussions and improve support.

About Mental Health
Mental health is as important as physical health, yet many struggle to find support. Mental illnesses impact thoughts, emotions, and relationships but are real, treatable conditions. Like asthma or diabetes, they can stem from genetics or life experiences. Since 2011, poor mental health has increased, especially among youth. The YMCA provides resources to support and guide teens in need.
