The National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health held a most successful conference in early December. Our theme this year was “Children’s Mental Health Matters†– a most appropriate theme for our 20th anniversary conference. This conference was truly a celebration of family involvement, expansion of the Federation of Families and two decades of committed individuals, families, and communities. We strongly believe that the most effective way to support youth and families is to focus on total health and well-being. The time to promote health and eradicate stigma and bias is now. The message “Children’s Mental Health Matters†allows us all to focus on promoting positive mental health from birth onward. There is no health without mental health.
Stay tuned for an exciting summary of the conference through pictures that our webmaster is developing.
