Mental Health Awareness Month: Building a Brighter Future for Children
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to reflect on the importance of mental health and wellbeing. For children, mental health has become an increasingly critical issue. In today’s complex world, more children across the country, and right here in our region, are experiencing depression, anxiety and other trauma-related conditions than ever before.
In fact, one in six youth aged 6-17 experiences a mental health disorder each year. Alarmingly, suicide is now the second leading cause of death for children aged 10 to 14. These statistics highlight an urgent need for support and services tailored to the unique needs of young people.
Our children are resilient, but they can’t face these challenges alone. We aim to enhance services and ensure that children have access to the care they deserve.
