20-25% of Americans have a diagnosable mental and or/substance use disorder in any given year. Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. As many as 10% of children experience serious emotional challenges. 15-20% of people in jails and prisons in the U.S. have a serious mental illness.
But we know that treatment works and that healing and help are happening every day.
Vibrant administers nationally recognized services including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, the Disaster Distress Helpline, the NFL Life Line, and NYC 988. Our programs provide hands-on services and resources to people affected by mental health concerns at all stages of life. Vibrant’s experts are available to provide information and interviews about our programs, policy issues, and news that impact the people we serve.
