New CDC Report Shows 57% of Teen Girls Experience Persistent Hopelessness

The report also reveals 30% seriously considered attempting suicide, indicating an urgent need for teaching hope and activating an International Day of Hope.

RENO, NV / ACCESSWIRE / February 22, 2023 / The CDC released a new study showing nearly 3 in 5 (57%) U.S. teen girls felt persistently sad or hopeless in 2021, nearly double that of boys. This number represents a nearly 60% increase and is the highest level reported over the past decade.

A startling 1 in 3 girls considering suicide is a national crisis and demands swift action.

Science shows that hope can be taught. Kathryn Goetzke, Founder of The International Foundation of Research and Education on Depression (iFred) created the Hopeful Minds curriculum; a free, global, evidence-based program that teaches youth the "what, why, and how" of hope.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

iFred invites all to join us for the International Day of Hope the first Monday in May (May 1st, 2023) to activate the science of hope on a global scale.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
