PrairieCare promotes education and resources that can help identify signs and symptoms of mental illness. Nearly 25% of the United States population will experience diagnosable symptoms during their lifetime. It is estimated that half of all cases experience onset before age 14. Shockingly, only 1 in 4 youth with a diagnosable disorder will receive the treatment necessary for healing.
