Supporting Children's Mental Health

In honor of May being Mental Health Awareness Month and with Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week the second week of May, we are pleased to share this social media toolkit to support children’s mental health.

The toolkit includes updates on the Stigma Free Campaign, new shareable messages specific to early childhood mental health, and links to two new resource guides for pregnant persons and parents of very young children. All these resources were developed through collaboration of many Orange County organizations and community members.
