City Concerns
Arizona is experiencing a rampant rise in youth suicide and children as young as the age of five. Arizona’s Child Fatality Review Program (CFR)’s 2016 report stated that the suicide rate for people under the age of 18 increased by 81% between the years 2009 – 2015. More than 55% of these suicides occurred in Maricopa County. The Jason Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to end youth suicide, states that 90% of those minors had experienced a mental health disorder and/or addiction issue with 60% suffering from depression and many of them were not receiving any treatment. Professionals who work with students are seeing a decrease in healthy sleep patterns due to regular smartphone use and it is making an impact on their mental health. Social media is suspect as well since students can no longer detach from bullying that occurs in school and now can continue even when they are at home. Adults are suffering, too. There were 266,894 inpatient hospitalizations for mental health issues in the state of Arizona in 2016.
There were 9118 divorces in Maricopa County in 2018. The U.S. rate was 3.6% in 2010 and the state of Arizona was at 3.5% in the same year.
There are an estimated 259 psychologists, counselors, and social workers in Chandler and 52 treatment centers. There are approximately 35 psychiatrists.
