We will respond to the youth mental health crisis.
A generation of Hoosier youth is in crisis, and it’s quite literally killing them.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among Indiana's children. At the same time, we are facing a dire shortage of mental health professionals to care for them, meaning families must often wait months to get their child help.
