Home >> Programs >> CMHP >> Tool Kit CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH WEEK COLLABORATION"Show Our Children That We Care"This year, Children's Mental Health Week will be observed the week of May 6-12, 2007. The purpose of Children's Mental Health Week is to increase public awareness about the importance of good mental health and better services for children with emotional, behavioral and social challenges and their families. Our goal is to educate communities to further an understanding of childhood and adolescent disorders and their resulting impact on families. To assist you and/or your organization in disseminating information and planning activities, Families Together in NYS (FTNYS), the Mental Health Association in New York State (MHANYS), and the New York State Education Department Office of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID) have put together this tool kit. Please feel free to reprint any of this information for distribution to your community. There are also links to sample materials to help bring attention to this important week.
