This May 7th, National Child & Youth Mental Health Day, we want to support the mental health of kids by connecting them to parents and caring adults.  Our new campaign is… I care about you.

The 2012 survey by RBC Foundation on Children’s Mental Health, http://www.rbc.com/community-sustainability/_assets-custom/pdf/2012-Childrens-Mental-Health-Parents-Poll-White-Paper.pdf,  stated that “the time for acceptance of mental health is now – not a generation from now.  Life-saving conversations hinge on parents’ comfort level with deeply unsettling topics, and on their trust that communities will rally to support them”.  We believe this starts with… I care about you.

 Many of you may already have plans for Child & Youth Mental Health Day and we are looking forward to supporting your plans and adding to them.  Visit our website at www.instituteoffamilies.ca

We appreciate you forwarding this email along to others so that this May 7th, we can come together to connect with kids to build awareness and support their mental health.
