Mental Health Crisis for Kids: A Dad's Solution

    MECHANICVILLE, NY, September 19, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- According to the CDC, before COVID, 9.4% of kids, around 5.8 million, battled with anxiety. After COVID, those numbers nearly doubled.

ONE DAD WANTS TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP

Mark Cheverton, internationally published New York Times bestselling author of 27 novels, learned all about ANXIETY the hard way. His son first showed anxiety symptoms in second grade, and they only grew worse every year.

Now, his son is in college and thriving, but Mark's focus on anxiety in kids has not wavered. After his family's experience with anxiety, he wrote his 27th novel, FACING THE BEAST WITHIN: THE ANXIETY OF CAMERON POOLE.

USE FICTION TO HELP KIDS WITH ANXIETY

Mark wrote an exciting fantasy novel for kids aged 8-15. He worked with a team of mental health professionals while writing this novel, and integrated their anxiety coping strategies into the story.

Help kids who struggle with anxiety . . . pass the word, FACING THE BEAST WITHIN is here.

Awards for FACING THE BEAST WITHIN:

Many mental health providers are being inundated with new patients, many of whom are being turned away because they're at capacity. Wait lists are long just for an initial evaluation, leaving the child to suffer. Many parents cannot afford services for their child because of insurance.

Sadly, 41% of kids with anxiety cannot gain access to any mental health services for a variety of reasons. This is true for those suffering from ADHD, depression, and behavioral issues, compounding the mental health crisis.

Maybe Facing the Beast Within can help a little.
