Let’s Chalk About it!

Children’s Mental Health Week May 1 – 7th, 2016

Children’s Mental Health Week is designated to promote awareness and education about mental health and the importance of good mental health for all.

Because mental health is such an important component of overall health, we are asking our communities to participate in a positive and fun activity to promote conversation about child and youth mental health and how we can all contribute to making a difference. We hope you will join us!

Here’s how it works…. using sidewalk chalk please take the opportunity sometime throughout the week of May 1 – 7th to create, write, draw and share ideas and messages that promote positive messages about mental health. We are hoping that community agencies, businesses and community members will provide opportunities and get involved in “chalking about mental health” throughout the week.

So get out there, grab a piece of chalk, and start creating! Thanks so much for getting the conversation started!
