Mental health problems like stress, anxiety, and depression are becoming more common among students. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that every year, 1 in 6 American children and teenagers between the ages of 6 and 17 suffer from a mental health illness. Nevertheless, many schools lack the necessary tools and support networks to deal with these issues efficiently.

Among those aged 10 to 14, suicide is the second most common cause of death"
