A company that provides educators and therapists online through school districts, says a state-by-state statistical comparison of various aspects of how children fare in each one shows “Connecticut families have the happiest and healthiest children in the nation.” The study was released by the company, VocoVison, for National Childrens Mental Health Awareness Day, today, May 9. Here’s the news release:
New research finds that Connecticut has the happiest and healthiest children in the nation, while Mississippi has the least. The Happy Child Index from VocoVision ranks all 50 states on ten factors that impact children’s mental and physical health. Connecticut, the overall happiest and healthiest state for children, has the fifth highest rate of children living in neighborhoods with a library.
