Why attend? Mental illness is on the rise, affecting millions, regardless of age, ethnicity, or social standing. In the US, 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness and 1 in 6 youth experience a mental health disorder. Suicide is the second leading cause of death between the ages of 10 yrs – 34 yrs of age.
