In 2022, 73.1% of Texas youth with Major Depression remained untreated, up from 65.4% in 2020, with Texas ranking 51st for mental health work force availability. Now is the time for Texans to stand up for our children. This new data point and others are revealed in Growing Up In Houston: Accessing the Quality of Life of our Children. Thanks to the support of United Way of Greater Houston, CHILDREN AT RISK will release the new publication Tuesday, March 28, at 10:00 a.m.

“Data must be the catalyst for any conversation regarding the well-being of our children,” says Dr. Bob Sanborn, president and CEO of CHILDREN AT RISK. “However, data alone is not sufficient. We must also overlay context to better understand the complexities of the many issues facing our children. Growing Up In Houston aims to do just that.”

The data in the 17th edition of Growing Up In Houston should be used as a catalyst to address the issues affecting children in Houston. By understanding the data, stakeholders and policymakers can access the needs of children and make better policies that will create opportunities for children to thrive.
