Tennessee is facing a mental health crisis among our children, adolescents and teens with
one in five Tennessee struggling with mental health concerns. Nearly 19% of all children in the
state have seriously considered suicide. Critical cases like these are what we see most often in
the Pilot Emergency Care Center at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.
Children’s Hospital is launching a new designated fund to support and ensure our
commitment to providing world class care to our mental and behavioral health patients. The
Mental Health Initiative Fund is designed to support current initiatives and needs at Children’s
Hospital as well as help enhance education, assessment tool, programs and access.
“Every dollar donated to the Mental Health Initiative Fund will help grow programs
which expand our reach and provide direct support to patients,” said Adam Cook, Vice President
for Institutional Advancement at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. “It was created to
specifically address the growing mental health crisis seen in our community.”
Children’s Hospital needs the community’s help to combat the mental health crisis
affecting children across Tennessee. Visit www.etch.com/mentalhealth to donate to our Mental
Health Initiative Fund and support the care Children’s Hospital is providing every day.
