The U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, reached out to Challenge Success and a handful of other organizations to help create detailed action plans to address the youth mental health crisis that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. We are proud to have been one of just a few non-profit organizations to be recruited by the Surgeon General, and we are excited to share the following commitments we have made.

We commit to sharing the results from over 200,000 students surveyed in middle and high schools across the country in the past several years on issues related to their emotional and physical health and well-being, sense of belonging and connection in schools, and engagement in school and learning. Findings will be disseminated widely to help educators, clinicians, and policy makers address the current crisis.
