What percentage of children in the US come from families living at the poverty level?

  1. 10%

  2. 20%

  3. 30%

  4. 40%

The correct answer is: 20%

The statistic indicating that approximately 20% of children in the U.S. come from families living at or below the poverty level reflects significant socio-economic challenges facing many families. This figure highlights the prevalence of poverty among children and underscores the importance of understanding the impact this has on mental health, education, and overall well-being. Many children growing up in poverty face barriers such as limited access to healthcare, inadequate educational resources, and increased levels of stress, which can contribute to mental health issues. Understanding this context is essential for mental health technicians, who may work directly with these children and their families, necessitating compassion and effective strategies to support their mental health in the face of economic hardship.
