AURORA, Colo. - U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy visited Children’s Hospital Colorado Friday morning to take part in a panel discussing the current state of youth mental health in Colorado and throughout the county.
“There's a unique set of challenges that, I think, kids are facing today. Challenges that have to do, in part, with the environment in which they grow up. Many kids are actually experiencing both online and offline bullying, right. Many are growing up in environments where they're experiencing violence and racism in their communities, and neighborhoods, and even schools, which chips away at their sense of self, and impacts their mental health and well being.
“Suicide is the number one cause of death starting at age 10 in the state. It's number two nationally,” Liaw said. “For most kids who have attempted suicide, or completed suicide, they've seen a health care professional within the month before.”“On October 1, 2018, I lost my 15-year-old son to suicide. Robbie was, what appeared to be, a thriving young person,” Eckert said.
