Children's Mental Health Awareness Week
May 5 - May 11, 2024
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!
Running from May 5 - 11, 2024, this week is the perfect opportunity for our community to come together and make a difference. We're thrilled to offer a community kickoff event, The Baker SuperK Walk, Roll & Fun Run.
Be a Mental Health Hero!
