The TeenScreen National Center for Mental Health Checkups State Resource Center is designed to provide accessible and up-to-date information on key mental health and suicide statistics in each of the 50 states.
The State Resource Center provides each state’s youth suicide rate, background on key mental health issues and screening programs, and information on other critical topics, citing national research projects, federal reports, and state data. We are also pleased to provide information on state's suicide prevention programs, as well as key government officials from every state.
The information and data found in the National Center's State Resource Center was compiled from a variety of sources, including the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and other federal agencies; all of which provide in-depth information and statistics about youth mental illness and suicide in the United States.
For additional information about these federal agencies, please visit our Resource Links section.
In 2009, SAMSHA developed a section of their web site that contains a brief overview of the substance abuse and mental health issues within a single state, including the prevalence of substance use and abuse, treatment resources, mental health indicators, and SAMHSA grant funding.
