Each year, during the first full week of May, the National Federation of Families takes the lead in celebrating the mental health of children and youth. This year, the Children's Mental Health Action Week (CMHAW) theme is Behind the Screen: Education, Prevention, Connection. During CMHAW and throughout Mental Health Month in May, we will explore the relationship between technology, family life, and the mental health of our children and youth. We look forward to sharing current research, important trends, resources for parents and caregivers, and strategies to protect, preserve, and promote family relationships and vital human bonds that support the mental health of our children and youth. Mark your calendars for May 3rd-9th for CMHAW and plan to join us as we look behind the screen.
