For the health and happiness of our children as well as our entire community, we must continue to keep this issue at the forefront.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocfl.net\/FamiliesHealthSocialSvcs\/MentalHealth.aspx\">Youth Mental Health Commission<\/a>, founded in August 2013, was a 20-member group comprised of elected officials, law enforcement and community leaders. The Commission was focused on developing new strategies and initiatives to address children\u2019s mental health in Orange County.<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, four million children and adolescents nationwide suffer from a serious mental disorder. In Orange County, there were more than 2,000 psychiatric hospitalizations of children up to age 17 in 2013, which contributed to 54 documented suicides of young people from 2011 to 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission, which held its final meeting in April 2013, recommended forming an implementation group comprised of community leaders and committed citizens to oversee the changes in handling youth mental health issues in Orange County. Mayor Jacobs assembled the Youth Mental Health Commission Implementation Team with the goal of accomplishing the group\u2019s final recommendations including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Developing a strategy to establish financial sustainability for youth mental health in Orange County<\/li>\n<li>Providing a current estimate of resources available for youth mental health including prevention, early identification and treatment<\/li>\n<li>Identifying the gaps in resources, both financial and human, to implement the proposed changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThere are some original members with institutional knowledge of the work done, and some new members that will help strategize partnerships, funding and alignment of resources for children and families,\u201d said Donna Wyche, Division Manager of Mental Health and Homeless Issues for Orange County Health Services. \u201cThe mental health of our children is of utmost importance, and we are fortunate that our Mayor understands and supports this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Implementation Team has begun putting together a plan, both short and long-term, prioritizing the recommendations of the Youth Mental Health Commission and creating a way to implement them in the community.<\/p>\n<p>A collection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mayorteresajacobs\/sets\/72157648488187580\/\" target=\"_blank\"
