“Child Mental Health Matters” Infographic Released for World Mental Health Day (October 10)


The “Child Mental Health Matters” Infographic centralizes key statistics for child mental health and raises awareness of “prevention” being a missing link in child mental health solutions.

Because youth mental health has been declared a national emergency, and US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has been in the media recently raising awareness of this issue, Adventures in Wisdom has created and released a free infographic called “Child Mental Health Matters”.

The infographic centralizes key statistics for child mental health and raises awareness of “prevention” being a missing link in child mental health solutions.

The infographic is available for download:

The statistics – sourced from the Center of Disease Control, Department of Health and Human Services, and Children’s Hospital Association – are alarming and include that self-injury and suicide in kids 5-17 years old increased 45% in the first half of 2021.

“When three pediatric organizations declared youth mental health a national emergency and called for ‘strategies to meet these challenges… across the continuum of mental health promotion, prevention, and treatment’, we made it our mission to raise awareness of life coaching for kids as part of the mental health solution, because most people aren’t aware of it,” said Renaye Thornborrow, founder of Adventures in Wisdom, a company that has certified hundreds of life coaches for kids in over 30 countries since 2013.

Renaye adds, “Life coaching sits on the prevention side of the continuum – helping kids develop mindset skills for resilience, self-esteem, confidence, self-leadership, achievement, and happiness so that kids can manage the ups and downs of growing up and thrive in life. Life coaching isn’t counseling and it isn’t therapy. Life coaching for kids is mindset training and helps children develop mental fitness before counseling is needed. Parents need to know that there is additional support available for their children.”
