Influenced by the dearth of services being provided, since 2012 IWES' Believe in Youth - Louisiana (BY-LA) program has conducted the Emotional Wellness Survey. The survey was designed to assess symptoms of poor mental health including depression, PTSD, and suicidality, as well as exposure to violence and worries about basic needs. Though data collection is ongoing, you can download our Emotional Wellness Survey Report here for data collected between 2012 and 2015 (n=1221) with participants aged 10-16.
