Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day 2024
In observance of Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day, we should educate ourselves on the difficulties that young people in our community experience when it comes to their mental health, take part in community outreach programs, organize events that promote mental health for kids, and approach mental health issues with an open mind.
Children with mental health concerns can get therapy, care, and support by working with doctors and practitioners. Both the stigma associated with mental health illnesses in general and the stigma associated with children’s mental health specifically needs to be destroyed.
