Although one in five children and adolescents experience a diagnosable mental health condition, fewer than half of these receive needed services. Of those who do receive services, disparities in access to and engagement in care are persistent, with racial and ethnic minoritized youth less likely to initiate or stay in treatment. Unmet mental health needs of children and their families in the United States have been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and children’s mental health is currently recognized as a national emergency.
