2022 Theme: Discover. Empower. Sustain.
Children’s Mental Health Awareness Month is an opportunity to discover new ways that systems of care could meet the needs of today’s children, youth, and families. It is a chance to reevaluate these systems, and transform them. In 2022, we’re committed to empowering our community supports and providers with the resources necessary to sustain an equitable system of care for young people and their families.
On this page, you’ll find resources that you can use and share to participate in CMHA Month 2022.
