Today’s children realize that life is not always easy. Pressure to win, to be liked, to get along with your family, or to do well in school may cause a young person to experience stress. The Gollee Gator Children’s Mental Health Initiative addresses the importance of every child’s mental wellness. The program is designed to explain and define mental health, teach children to understand their feelings, provide children an introduction to problem solving skills and encourage them to talk with trusted adults.

OUR IMPACT
THE CHALLENGE WE FACE
Mental health challenges pervade our lives more often than we might realize. It's a silent epidemic that touches nearly every one of us, with 1 in 5 Americans grappling with a diagnosable mental health condition each year. The onset of mental illness is often early, as half of all such conditions reveal themselves by the time an individual turns 14, and a staggering 17% of youth between 6-17 years confront a mental health disorder.

How We Help

95%
