Children's Mental Health Day is coming up soon.
One out of five children have a diagnosable mental health need.
Unfortunately, not every child who has a mental health need receives services.
This
free annual event empowers children and their caregivers to rise above mental health stigma. Join the Austin community, along with representatives from state agencies and mental health organizations
to:
-
Listen to testimonies from youth and families who have shown perseverance
-
Hear prominent guest speakers
After the rally, join the fun family activities including:
-
Carnival games and entertainers
-
Giveaways
-
Music, food and drinks
-
A community resource fair
This event promotes positive youth development, resiliency and recovery as well as transformation of mental health services for adolescents and their families and connects families in
the community to the support resources they need. Visit our page to learn more about
Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day.
This annual event is hosted by the Texas System of Care, the Texas Institute for Excellence in Mental Health at the University of Texas at Austin and Texas Health and Human Services
Commission, along with many local community and government partners.
