\nAfter years of decline, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports an increase in injury deaths among children and adolescents ages 10 to 19.<\/p>\n
Accidental deaths among young people across the country due to injury, homicide, suicide and motor vehicle accidents are up, according to the report.<\/p>\n
The suicide rate jumped 56 percent between 2007 and 2016 after a sharp decline the decade before. Additionally, homicide rates have increased by nearly one-third.<\/p>\n
Dr. Erin Frazier of Norton Children\u2019s Medical Associates says the data shows many children and teens are not getting the mental health support they need. Dr. Frazier explained adverse childhood experiences, such as exposure to violence and other traumatic experiences, can also lead to life-long health risks, including heart disease, substance abuse and obesity.<\/p>\n
Ensuring that children and families can address physical, mental and social health issues before they result in a dangerous situation is vital, Frazier said.<\/p>\n
Norton Children\u2019s Prevention & Wellness, which works with schools and community groups, has identified mental health as a priority area and is working to support children and families throughout Greater Louisville.
