Become a School Hero

Each year we ask for help in raising awareness for children's mental health needs and enhancing our community outreach efforts.

We invite your organization to join as a School Hero to  make this year 's Children's Mental Health Awareness Week a success.  Only through partnership with organizations like yours can the campaign reach a diverse audience of families, caregivers, educators, and providers through many diffent channels.
