Schools are Critical to Prevention and Intervention

Serious Mental Illness (SMI) affects approximately 4% of the population.   School-age youth are particularly important as 50% of symptoms appear before age 14 and 75% appear by age 24.

Prevention and Intervention programs can be aimed at all students to create emotionally abled students and families.  Most of the available data looks at possible results from early symptoms.
