Children from low-income communities who don't have a consistent routine in relation to school are often at a higher risk for various negative outcomes. Studies have shown:

1. Higher Risk of Mental Health Issues: Children living in poverty without structured routines face greater stress, leading to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems. A study published in Pediatrics indicated that children in low-income households with inconsistent routines experience higher levels of emotional distress.

2. Poor Academic Performance: Research shows that lack of consistency can directly impact school performance. According to a report by the National Center for Children in Poverty, children in low-income families who have less stable routines tend to have lower test scores and a higher likelihood of school absenteeism.

3. Sleep Deprivation: Inconsistent routines can result in insufficient sleep, which is especially concerning in children. The National Sleep Foundation notes that children who do not follow regular sleep schedules are more likely to suffer from sleep deprivation, affecting both academic performance and behavior.

4. Behavioral Challenges: Children without stable routines often face difficulties with self-regulation. A study in Developmental Psychology found that these children are more prone to impulsivity, aggression, and difficulty following instructions.

5. Increased Vulnerability to Trauma: Children in low-income areas with unstable routines may also experience more frequent exposure to trauma, further impacting their mental and emotional well-being. Routine, especially around school, helps buffer against external stressors.

Research indicates that children without consistent routines are more vulnerable to mental health issues. For instance, a study found that kids with inconsistent bedtimes are about 70% more likely to get insufficient sleep, which can lead to behavioral issues. Also, the Urban Institute notes that instability in routines can increase stress levels, which in turn heightens the risk of mental health and cognitive challenges.

Understanding Teen Mental Health and Parent-Child Violence

Teen years can be challenging, and mental health struggles can sometimes manifest in harmful ways, including violence against parents. It's crucial to raise awareness.

Breaking the Silence: Teen Violence and Mental Health

Teen violence against parents is a pressing issue that often goes unnoticed. As adolescents navigate a complex world, mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and trauma can sometimes lead to aggression at home.

Key Facts:

Prevalence: Studies show that a significant number of parents experience violence from their teenage children, often linked to untreated mental health issues.

Signs to Watch: Changes in behavior, increased irritability, withdrawal, and substance abuse can be red flags.

Prevention and Support: Early intervention, access to mental health resources, and open communication are vital.

How You Can Help:

Educate Yourself: Understanding the signs of mental health struggles in teens is the first step.

Encourage Open Dialogue: Create a safe space for teens to express their feelings.

Seek Professional Help: Don't hesitate to reach out to mental health professionals if needed.

Here are some credible statistics and research findings on adolescent anger and aggression toward parents (also known as child-to-parent violence, or CPV):

---

📊 Prevalence of CPV

A recent meta‑analysis covering ~25,000 participants found that 34.8% of adolescents reported violence toward parents, with 10% reporting physical violence and 82.6% reporting psychological aggression.

---

🧠 Characteristics & Risk Factors

Police‑reported CPV incidents (ages 10–19): ~66% were male; ~48% aged 15–19; 91% occurred in the home; 76% of victims were mothers .

Over half of young people involved had mental health diagnoses, and about 35% had substance abuse issues .

Research shows strong links between past parental aggression and adolescent aggression toward parents: each additional incident cited raised the risk of verbal, physical, and property damage aggression by **24%–35%** .

Youth mental health gaps refer to the disparities in access to and utilization of mental health services, resulting in many young people with mental health needs not receiving the care they require, leading to negative consequences for their well-being and future outcomes.

Here's a deeper look at the issue:

Prevalence and Impact:
High rates of mental health challenges:
Mental health problems are a significant issue among youth, with a substantial percentage experiencing mental, emotional, developmental, or behavioral disorders.

Untreated conditions:
Many youth with mental disorders, even severe ones, never receive treatment, and even when they do, treatment is often limited or incomplete.

Negative consequences of untreated mental health:
Untreated mental health issues can lead to poor school performance, substance misuse, and increased risk of criminal justice involvement.

Increased mental health concerns:
Mental health concerns in children and young people were already increasing before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the pandemic has worsened both mental health and existing gaps in mental healthcare access for all patient populations.

Suicidal ideation:
A significant percentage of high school students have reported suicidal ideation, highlighting the severity of the issue.

Yesterday was nothing short of magical and miraculous.

Special thank you to Mpowermentu Act for collaborating with us this year to make the homelessness community feel seen, loved, and supported.

I want to thank my team Denise Conner Aleah Cook Andrea Soto Pea Elaine for being exactly who they are when I need them they will and have always be there to ensure The TRILL Project by Subliminal Dreamz Inc has everything we need.

To the volunteers who came out and cleaned up the whole block literally! Thank you so very much. Its important that we show up but even more important we leave every place we touch different than it was before. We want out impressions to be everlasting.

The food was simply amazing! We had enough supplies and resources to help over 100 of our displaced citizens including our children.

Our work is not for likes and shares but raise AWARENESS, to ADVOCATE, and ultimately ADVANCE our communities.

Yesterday I served alongside individuals who where happy and wanted to serve, every one carried out the mission with smiles. I serve alongside leaders who hug, and share meaningful conversations with the populations we serve. We had donations being dropped off left and right and we appreciate it ALL.

Special thank you to my spiritual leader Michele Godfrey-Watson I am so blessed to be under your guidance and leadership. (Yall better get ya one) lol.
