Joven Health
A Lifetime of Mental Health for All
20% of youth have a mental health disorder
50% won’t get treatment this year
75% of mental health disorders start before age 24
We started Joven Health because we didn’t receive the mental health treatment we needed when we were kids. Unfortunately, this is still the norm today — nearly 50% of children who need mental health treatment do not get it.
There are over 17 million children and teens in the United States with a mental health problem and 8.5 million will not receive treatment this year. Let’s not forget that suicide is now the 2nd leading cause of death among those between the ages of 10-34. Our youth are in the midst of a mental health crisis. We don’t have all of the answers, but we can try to be part of the solution.
We’re working to make counseling affordable and accessible for every child and teen who needs it. With our online counseling services, children and families can easily connect with a professional, licensed counselor from the safety of their home. Early intervention helps. Don’t wait to get help. Our kids deserve better.
Purpose
We believe a better future is built upon the mental health of our youth.
Vision
We envision a world of thriving young people, fully equipped to handle life’s challenges.
Mission
We are on a mission to advance mental health care across the world.
