Children’s Hospital of Colorado has declared a “state of emergency” in youth mental health to draw attention to what health officials there see as a growing problem.
It’s the first state of emergency in the hospital system’s 117 years.
The declaration was made during a pediatric mental health roundtable where experts discussed how suicide has become the leading cause of death for kids in Colorado.
According to the hospital s system, “The top complaint being addressed in Children’s Colorado’s emergency rooms today is kids in a mental health crisis. We’ve seen a trend of low-level anxiety and depression becoming exacerbated by the isolation and stress of the pandemic then turning into suicide attempts.”
I’ve been in practice for over 20 years in pediatrics and I’ve never seen anything like the demand for mental health services we’ve seen at Children’s Colorado in the past 15 months…There have been many weeks in 2021 that the number one reason for presenting to our emergency department is a suicide attempt. Our kids have run out of resilience – their tanks are empty.
David Brumbaugh, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Children’s Colorado
Officials say they see the Covid-19 pandemic response as a key factor, but worry that problems will continue even as the nation moves back to normal.
“Children’s Colorado has seen a 90% increase in demand for behavioral health treatment in the past two years,” reports the hospital. “Emergency transport teams are now seeing three to four suicide attempts per week and have asked for additional training on how to best handle these situations.” The hospital system is advocating that significant Covid-19 funds designated for Colorado be spent to address the situation.

The government could care less about the children of this country. They are dying to inject these kids with more poison. The governments are coercing these kids from College tuition to tickets to events, to get the jab. Some places you do not need parental consent. They have had their faces covered for a year. Not seeing family. It’s all purposeful, the powers that be do not give a dam for anyone, except to push a Nazi like agenda for the New World Order. Liars, the medical community, media and government. “They are all in it together” Buckle up, t’s only going to get worse. God help these kids first and we all need to pray to rid this evil from our lives. It’s just sick!
Well said, Diana.

Depopulation continuing apace. The more kids gotten rid of, the fewer future people. Every child who is lost means generations lost in the future. It’s diabolical.
Were any of those children taking Montelukast?
Ummm, isn’t this the state that is doping their population with cannabis products? I would love to see if there are a disproportionate number of cannabis users among the victims.
