Children's Mental Health Awareness Week
May is Mental Health Month. The National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health again declares the first full week in May, May 4-10, 2008, as National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week.
At A Wild Ride, we want you to know that:
1. Mental Health is essential to overall health and well being.
2. Serious emotional and mental health disorders in children and youth are real and treatable.
3. Children and youth with mental health challenges and their families deserve access to services and supports that are family driven, youth guided and culturally appropriate.
4. Stigma associated with mental illness should no longer exist.
