Magellan’s Youth Support Resources
Why Supporting Youth Mental Health Matters
Mental health challenges among children and adolescents are on the rise. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 46% of adolescents aged 13–18 will experience some form of mental disorder, with anxiety disorders being the most prevalent. Nearly two-thirds do not receive the support they need.
Magellan’s Employee Assistance Program provides your employees and their family members with access the right resources for emotional wellbeing.
Digital CBT Programs:
ThinkHeroSM and ThinkWarriorSM
- ThinkHeroSM — Children ages 6–12, teaches coping skills, emotional regulation and problem-solving through interactive, age-appropriate content.
