Children and Adolescent Mental Health
The Caring for Every Child's Mental Health communications campaign is a national public information and education campaign to increase public awareness about the importance of protecting and nurturing the mental health of young people; foster recognition that many children have mental health problems that are real, painful, and sometimes severe; and encourage caregivers to seek early, appropriate treatment and services.
Make Time To Listen, Take Time To Talk
The campaign is part of the CMHS School Violence Prevention Initiative and is designed to provide practical guidance to parents and caregivers about "how to" create time to listen and take time to talk with their children.
