National Go Hiking Day is November 17th, and though it is getting colder in most of the US, spending some time outside is still beneficial for kids and adults alike — most of the studies agree that kids who play outside are smarter, happier, more attentive, and less anxious than kids who spend more time indoors. While it’s unclear how exactly the cognitive functioning and mood improvements occur, playing outdoors promotes unstructured play, creates a unique sense of wonder, and activates senses differently than the indoors, which may all contribute to the positive effects of spending time outdoors.

Here are some outdoor activities to try out with your kids:

People tend to toss around the term “panic attack” when they’re really stressed. But the symptoms of a true panic attack are very specific — a racing heart, sweating, dizziness, shortness of breath, nausea — and so intense that a person experiencing one for the first time may believe they’re dying. This week, we’re sharing resources about panic attacks and other intense experiences of anxiety, which can sometimes be hard to tell apart.

Childhood anxiety often goes undetected, and that can have a long-term impact. Kids often keep their worries hidden or express them in ways that are hard to read.

Our Story

Of the 74.5 million children in the United States, an estimated 17.1 million have or have had a mental health disorder — more than the number of children with cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined. Half of all mental illness occurs before the age of 14, and 75 percent by the age of 24.

In spite of the magnitude of the problem, lack of awareness and entrenched stigma keep the majority of these young people from getting help. Children and adolescents struggling with these disorders are at risk for academic failure, substance abuse and a clash with the juvenile justice system — all of which come at a tremendous cost to them, their families and the community.

We are driven to create a brighter future for our children, and we make three commitments:

1. Give these children access to the best, most effective treatments when and where they need it most
