Child mental illness is a serious problem that affects local families. These children are often mislabeled, bullied, and stigmatized because their illness causes them to act out, or behave "abnormally". These children are often creative, intelligent, caring kids who are misunderstood by their friends, neighbors, even teachers. See the story of one local family's struggle with severe mental illness http://www.gofundme.com/child-mental-illness
