Awareness. Help. Restoration.
Why One Seven?
13% of children ages 8-15 experience a mental health condition, 50% of them do not receive treatment. Despite effective treatments there are long delays - sometimes decades - between the onset of symptoms and treatment.
You have probably seen recent statistics about the suicide epidemic, rates over all have been on the constant rise with no signs of slowing down. The rate of teenage suicide is rising twice as fast.
Mental health can feel like a taboo topic of conversation, but it doesn’t have to be! Our goal at The One Seven Foundation is to bring awareness to the situation at hand, candidly talk about mental health, and to ultimately do our part in helping to have a positive impact on these statistics.
the heart of our ministry is the mind.
Our mission is to bring light, hope and love to teens facing their darkest hour with the healing power of Jesus Christ.
