More children have mental health concerns. The problem with this issue is that children have mental health problems but parents do not realize how bad these children allow things to build up inside. Children allow this build up to cause destruction of property, low-self esteem, and social activity with others. These children need help with ways to deal with the problems that they are dealing with. The demographics of this issue are that children of all ages are dealing with some type of mental health concern.
More than two thirds of the young people carry some type of mental health problem. One in every 10 young people age 9 or older, or about 4 million, has a serious emotional disturbance that disrupts daily life (SAMHSA’S, 2000).

The causes for this organization would out rule the consequences because children need services to improve their conditions and healthy ways to learn about their mental health disabilities. The gainers would be parents, children, and teachers. The losers would be the children or parents that did not benefit...
