MENTAL HEALTH HELP FOR CHILDREN Mental health is desperately needed for our children and adolescents. Look at the figures! fig-ures! Of the 50 million school-age youngsters, perhaps 10 to 12 percent have moderate to severe se-vere mental or emotional problems prob-lems requiring some kind of mental health service. It is estimated that as many as 500,000 children in this country suffer from the kind of mental illnesses known as psychoses psy-choses and borderline psychotic conditions. Another 1,000,000 are afflicted af-flicted with personality and character disorders. Only about 5 percent of the children in the U.S. who need mental health help are getting it. Of those who do get psychiatric psy-chiatric treatment, less than one-half one-half receive help of the kind, quality, and duration needed. These and other figures compiled com-piled by the National Institute of Mental Health show the acute and immediate need for a wide range of effective community com-munity mental health services , for children and adolescents. In most areas of the country coun-try today, adequate facilities, providing the variety and kind of services needed for children, are lacking. Help is on the way, however, under a new national mental health program providing Federal Fed-eral support for the construction construc-tion and staffing of community mental health centers. Comprehensive services, including in-cluding mental health help for children and young people, are being made available throughout through-out the country by these new centers. In New York, "teacher-moms" "teacher-moms" were trained to work with schizophrenic children. In California, a "drop-in" clinic for adolescents with emotional problems has been started. In Maryland, psychologists accompanied police on their rounds to equip themselves to help police officers understand youth's behavior.

Readers' letters and comments com-ments are most helpful in preparation prep-aration of these articles for Mental Health Matters because they forcefully call to attention specific human problems which may too often be overlooked. One of these is the matter of attaching stigma and shame to a past or present victim of mental men-tal disorders. A reader writes of difficulties a member of the family suffered. suf-fered. As a consequence of having hav-ing been stricken with mental illness while in high school, he was looked down on and jobs were denied him. He finally moved to another town, where he obtained and successfully held down a good job. Expressing the heartfelt wish that the stigma of mental illness could be done away with and that "everyone would accept it as any other disease," our reader correctly says that most of the mentally ill get well or can be greatly helped. "If society doesn't treat them right and let them work as other individuals who have been sick and got well, we will always al-ways be in the dark ages," the reader adds. Writing of the interest in these articles, another reader tells of the history of mental illness in a family and some of the many problems that beset them. While pointing out the difficulties diffi-culties in finding solutions to individual cases, such as getting job rehabilitation services, the writer was emphatic in the viewpoint that we are not going backward, but forward. "Thank God for the progress made in helping the mentally ill," the writer said. Although there is, unfortunately, unfortu-nately, still some stigmatizing associated with mental illness, progress is also being made against it; and attitudes and opinions are changing for the better. Each of us can play a part in advancing this progress by learning facts and replacing the superstitions, fancies, and fables about mental illness with true information based on today's knowledge. There is a very real challenge to and opportunity for all of us in pitting knowledge and understanding un-derstanding of mental illness against neglect and ignorance.

It looks like a vacuum sweeper sweep-er hose," my son with the crumbling cooky asked. "It IS a vacuum sweeper hose," I answered. "It sure looks weird!" "That's easy for you to say. You don't have to sweep up all day after kids who munch chocolate cookies on white carpeting and dirty, shaggy-haired shaggy-haired dogs, losing muscle tone all the while." I grasped the ends of the rug attachment, according to directions, di-rections, and continued, ignoring ig-noring my son and his cronies who were giggling at the window. win-dow. "Lean forward and bring one leg at a time up over the vacuum attachment bar, hold as long as possible. Keep standing, leg straight. Alternate Alter-nate legs, bring each up six times. ..." They forgot to add: "Ignore your husband, who walks in unexpectedly." - "What's that you're doing exercises with? It looks like a vacuum sweeper." The trouble with him is, that he plays tennis once a week, handball twice a week and golf Saturdays and Sundays. He doesn't know what it's like to spend seven days a week waltzing with the vacuum vacu-um sweeper and a dust mop while the lithe gazelle across the street (the one with the housekeeper) spends her days on the tennis court. I was going crazy trying to keep up the house, the pets and my sanity housework depresses me, but a house in upheaval depresses me more until I found the pamphlet. "Chore Your Way, to Fitness," Fit-ness," it advised. Well, I've chored my way to an aching back, Ajax under the fingernails and holes in my tennis shoes but to fitness? fit-ness? Never. "Your vacuum cleaner becomes be-comes a portable gym, and you can help tone up lazy muscles as you do your routine rou-tine cleaning chores." Wow! Until Sears and physical fitness fit-ness expert Nicholas Kounovsky suggested that the trusty old upright in the closet is more than a cleaning aid, I had been naive enough to believe be-lieve its sole purpose was to relieve mothers of cooky-crumbling cooky-crumbling kids and shaggy dogs from eternally grungy carpets. 4 Now they were telling me it was more than a cleaning aid. It's the latest addition to the busy woman's beauty regimen. regi-men. "Let's face it, dusting and vacuuming can be boring, tedious te-dious chores unless you put some fun into them, so why not make housecleaning pay off twofold?" I said to myself. I've been doing it several ' weeks now, lunging forward as I move the vacuum across the room (to stretch the legs) limbering up with the attachment attach-ment wand, and practicing something akin to a Russian folk dance as I push the sweeper down the hall. I can't say there are any visible results yet. It's too soon to tell. But my mother-in-law has offered to watch the kids for a week while I "rest." Just Arrived!
