According to the National Alliance on Mental Health, one in six U.S. youth aged 6-17 will experience a mental health disorder each year. When the statistic above is applied to the 1400 students at IIANT, that means approximately 233 of our Imagine Dragons have potentially dealt with
n issue this year. As parents, awareness matters.

"Protecting Our Kids From Online Predators"
Parents may think it could never happen in their home. Reality is that any device
with internet accesses is a tool that predators can potentially use to access
children.
In September, PiP hosted special guest, Jason Mitchell, who leads the Child
Exploitation Investigations Group for the US Department of Homeland Security for
the DFW area. He educated parents on how to protect our children and keep them
safe from online predators.
