Charleston Hope

I am proud of what has been built at Charleston Hope since I was 18 years old. 12 years later, a lot of different paths, and now here we are -- narrowed in and focused on the mission at hand. We're providing mental health therapy and programs to students in our high-poverty schools. The vision -- to see every Title 1 school in the tri-county areas with a strong mental health program. Can you imagine what the generation behind us would look like if every kid had access to the mental health care they need? Join us in the fight to increase mental health access and reduce rates of anxiety, depression and suicide in our youth. https://lnkd.in/ePdd8RaH

"According to a recent report from the Boston Consulting Group, 77% of youth in South Carolina with a major depressive episode do not receive any mental health treatment. This is well above the national average of 60%. In 2021, leading organizations declared a National State of Emergency in children’s mental health. Additionally, in 2022, the mental health counselor-to-student ratio 2022 was 1:1,300 in South Carolina. Charleston Hope’s journey began in 2011 when executive director Emily Kerr brainstormed from her kitchen table how she could help enact real change. Since then, Charleston Hope has grown exponentially, thanks to the unwavering support of community members. This year alone, Charleston Hope expects to provide more than 1,000 hours of mental health support to students."
