With child and adolescent mental health problems at an all time high, the majority of public schools and non-profit organizations do not have the necessary funding to be able to bring in quality mental health and parenting programs for their community. Dr. Jerry Weichman's answer to this was the creation of the Raising Teens Foundation which is a non-profit launched in partnership with Charitable Ventures of Orange County. We utilize private funding in order to bring struggling communities a myriad of different presentations for students, parents and educators.
