The Children’s Mental Health Matters!

For more than 25 years the Children’s Mental Health Matters Campaign has organized events, awareness tools, and media to raise awareness of the importance of children’s mental health. Campaign brings together non-profits, schools, and other agencies with the following goals: raising public awareness of the importance of children’s mental health and substance use, helping reduce the stigma of mental health, and connecting families, educators and providers throughout Maryland with resources to help children. The Maryland Coalition of Families and the Mental Health Association of Maryland work together to coordinate the Campaign across the state. We encourage you to join our campaign along with schools and organizations as a School or Community Champion to share our resources, events and other updates, as well as participate in raising awareness and encouraging resiliency among Maryland’s children.

Trans mental health matters. This Transgender Awareness Week, we’re promoting understanding, support, and safe spaces for transgender youth and families. Being trans+, nonbinary, or questioning your gender isn’t a mental health condition, but many trans+ individuals face mental health challenges due to social attitudes toward their identity.
