Such a simple, yet powerful and moving concept for a video, with so much truth in it🙌

🌍 Today is World Mental Health Day, and at iRaise Girls & Boys International, we’re committed to raising awareness about the mental health crisis affecting our communities, especially our youth. 🧠 Did you know that 1 in 5 children and adolescents experience mental health challenges, yet nearly 60% of them don’t receive the support they need? In underserved communities, these numbers are even higher due to lack of access to quality care. At iRaise, we believe that every child deserves the tools and resources to thrive emotionally and mentally. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing mental health services and creating safe spaces for youth to express themselves, heal, and grow. Let’s break the stigma, advocate for better mental health support, and continue to show up for the future of our children. 💚 #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #SupportOurYouth #BreakTheStigma #iRaiseGirlsAndBoysInternational

At Finnastra, we believe in more than just numbers on a bill. We believe in supporting the holistic well-being of every child, especially when it comes to mental health. That's why we're proud to echo the sentiment: 'Let's teach our children that it's okay not to be okay sometimes, and that seeking help is a sign of courage, not weakness. Together, let's break down the barriers to mental health acceptance. Let's teach our children the value of seeking help when they need it and create a community where support is readily available. Because when we support children's mental health, we're investing in a brighter, healthier future for everyone. Join us in advocating for children's mental health acceptance. Together, we can make a difference. #ChildrensMentalHealth #MentalHealthAcceptance #MedicalBilling #SupportingWellness #CommunitySupport #InvestingInHealth #BreakDownBarriers

According to the CDC, more than 1 in 5 U.S. adults (19.86% or nearly 50 million Americans) have a mental illness in 2022. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the theme is Take The Moment. Take the moment to check in on yourself (see checklist below), eradicate the stigma, extend support, foster public education, and advocate for policies that prioritize the well-being of individuals and families impacted by mental illness.

As we observe #worldmentalhealthday, let’s not forget the children living on the streets. These young ones endure daily struggles, from hunger to violence, often without the support systems needed for their mental well-being. Mental health at work isn’t just about corporate settings; it’s about creating environments where every child, no matter their circumstances, can feel safe, supported, and hopeful. By providing care, shelter, and emotional guidance, we can help street children build a future of resilience and hope. Let's work together to advocate for their mental health today and every day. #sccwi #streetchildren #careforchildren #mentalhealthmatters #worldmentalhealthday

As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, focusing on the crisis among our youth, we wanted to share an insightful dialogue between parents navigating this crisis. Michealle and Katherine are two remarkable mothers who are navigating the complexities of the youth mental health crisis exacerbated by the pandemic. In this candid discussion, they shed light on the challenges their families have faced in accessing suitable mental health support and advocate for systemic change. We recognized the significance of initiating this dialogue to reassure parents, guardians, and loved ones that they are not alone in navigating the journey to find optimal care for youth. Listen to the conversation and join the movement to prioritize mental health support for our youth. Let's break the stigma because no one should suffer in silence. https://lnkd.in/eSXXWkq4 . . . #MentalHealthAwareness #YouthMentalHealth #BehavioralHealth

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month! Mental health challenges affect everyone, but minority communities often face unique barriers. This month and every month, we stand together to shine a light on the importance of mental health care for minority teens. Here are just some of the reasons why supporting teen minority mental health matters: ✨Minority teens often face more trauma due to racism, discrimination, and economic challenges ✨Promoting mental health care in minority communities helps break down the stigma around mental illness, encouraging more teens to seek help ✨Good mental health support contributes to resilient communities where teens can thrive and succeed Help us amplify the message about the importance of minority mental health awareness by sharing this post! #MinorityMentalHealthMonth #TeensWithTrauma #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheStigma #EndTheStigma #InclusiveCare #MarylandMentalHealth #BaltimoreMentalHealth #MarylandNonprofit #MinorityMentalHealthAwarenessMonth #SupportTeens #SupportTeenSurvivors

In Pennsylvania, over 40% of students report feeling depressed or anxious "most of the time," according to the PA Youth Survey (PAYS). Even more concerning, 60% of children who die by suicide never received mental health support (CDC). Our current mental health system often waits until children are in crisis before offering care. On this National Depression Screening Day, let’s commit to reimagining how we support youth mental health—ensuring every child has access to care before it's too late. Join Children First in advocating for a proactive system that supports children and families.

Did You Know? 💭 🧠 Nearly 1 in 5 youth experiences a mental health challenge, but many don’t receive the support they need? Early intervention and access to resources can make a world of difference.

At Youth Empowerment Success Services (YESS), we understand that mental health plays a crucial role in creating a brighter future for youth.
