Children's Mental Health Awareness Week
May 4 - May 10, 2025
Throughout the year, we hear from caregivers, mental health professionals, and community members who want to spread awareness about the importance of children’s mental health and the need for services that support recovery, resilience, and success for youth. Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week is designed to do just that!
How Can I Spread Awareness?
Make A Gift
A donation of any size goes directly to supporting children and families in need. The Baker Center offers a wide range of services including outpatient therapy, special education, a theraputic summer camp, and more. You can designate your gift to a particular program or service, and even make a gift in honor of someone you know who has a mental health challenge!
Use A Graphic
Spread awareness on your social media accounts by posting an informative graphic! Right click and select "Save as Picture" to download the image. Make a post encouraging your community to spread awareness or share their mental health stories!
Share A Resource
One of the most effective ways of spreading awareness is to share educational resources with your community. The Baker Center maintains a directory of various children's mental health resources which you can share! From fact sheets to webinars to newsletters, all of this content is free to access and distribute.
