Youth mental health outcomes are deeply rooted in social determinants of health. Traumatic experiences, poor access to services, and lack of connection to community during the COVID-19 pandemic contribute to rising rates of poor mental health outcomes for children and adolescents. With support from Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), ASTHO and National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) have partnered to develop a four-part series focusing on the role of multiple sectors in addressing comprehensive youth mental health and well-being. website no False
