In 2023, we boldly sought to help every single Texan in need of mental health care, and our guidance for state legislators helped secure record funding for behavioral health across the state. Federal policymakers recognized our #mentalhealth successes in Texas as a model for states and communities across the country, inviting our guidance and expertise at the national level to help secure an unprecedented amount of mental health program financing in the 2023 federal budget for data-driven programs designed for maximum impact.

•  1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year •  1 in 20 U.S. adults experience serious mental illness each year •  1 in 6 U.S. youth ages 6-17 experience a mental disorder each year •  More than 50% of people with a mental health condition did not receive treatment within < 1 yr •  1 in 4 people with a serious mental illness have  been arrested •  2 in 5 adults in prison have a history of mental illness •  7 in 10 youth in the juvenile justice system have a mental health condition •  On average, 1 person in the U.S. dies by suicide every 11 minutes The stigma and discrimination of mental health care stops many of us from seeking treatment or living the lives that we desire. With greater investment in #mentalhealth care and education, we can build a society where people can access everything they need to thrive within their communities. By reinvesting the over $25 billion spent nationwide into Social-Emotional Learning Skills and Emotional Intelligence Awareness, we can properly train our young men to have educated engineers, skilled workers, AND have enough funding to rebuild the American infrastructure that fuels THIS American economy.

According to Christine Olivia-Castillo: "Recognizing recovery is essential as it honors the journey of healing and growth, emphasizing the importance of connection, community, and both physical and emotional health. To me, it represents the strength found in overcoming challenges and the supportive networks that nurture our well-being."
