Each May, conversations around children’s mental health get the attention they deserve through Children’s Mental Health Awareness efforts, including Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week. It is an important reminder that mental health is not a side issue in childhood or adolescence. It is a central part of a child’s well-being, development, relationships, and daily life.
