Teens and young adults are under pressure. 1 out of every 5 has a mental health condition. 46% did not receive treatment or counseling last year.
During the month of May, the US looks to raise awareness around the importance of mental health with the goal to encourage understanding and action. Throughout the year, our panelists work tirelessly to build a culture of mental wellness whether it be at home, in school, or in the workplace.
