FYI
Why Stats Matter
- In Texas alone, trauma exposure and mental health struggles among youth are alarmingly high: over 1.2 million Texas youth — about 20% of those under 18 — report having a mental, emotional, behavioral, or developmental issue.
- Every Texan Among adolescents statewide, 38.3% said they experienced feelings of sadness or hopelessness so intense they could not carry on daily activities, 18.9% seriously considered suicide, and 10% attempted it. University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley Within the juvenile justice system, 52% of youth in Texas secure facilities have experienced four or more Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) — with 87% of girls in those settings reporting that level of trauma.

The Problem Zealists Solves
- Too many individuals, families, and communities live with the long-term effects of trauma, untreated stress, and systemic barriers. Students struggle with emotional regulation and academic performance. Parents and caregivers face burnout without support systems.
- Vulnerable youth, single mothers, and marginalized communities often lack access to trauma-informed care, preventative wellness programs, and leadership development that can break cycles of crisis.
- Traditional services often focus on the immediate problem — a hospital visit, a classroom disruption, or a social service need — but fail to address the root causes of instability: unresolved trauma, lack of resilience, and generational barriers.
- This gap leaves individuals underserved, families unsupported, and communities unprepared to thrive.
