CELEBRATE CHILDREN S MENTAL HEALTH WITH HINCKS-DELLCREST EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN S MENTAL HEALTH! Big but intimate, the Raise a Child s Smile gala is a first-class memorable event in the lives of all who attend. Guests talk all year long about how the evening moves them. The night is filled with laughter and excitement because people connect with each other. A typical comment is, This is not only meaningful, but also the most fun Gala in the city. After all, it is all about kids. WHY PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN S MENTAL HEALTH One in five children suffers with a mental health illness. Four out of five children with mental health problems WILL NOT receive help. 70% of all mental health problems develop before the age of 20. Second to accidents, the number one cause of death in teens is suicide. Although every other aspect of personal health has improved during this century, mental health statistics have gotten worse every year. Early intervention saves a lifetime of suffering, even a life. Untreated, children are prone to losing their education, turning to violence and crime, unemployment, and being on the outside of society. With treatment children can reach their potential, be a part of society, and live more productive and peaceful lives. For every dollar invested, there is a 700% return to society due to lower health care costs and reduced crime. Page 1 of 8
