Nearly 1 in 6 of the world’s children struggle with mental health disorders... but less than a penny of each dollar spent on global health funding is designated to support them. Tell Congress: It’s not enough — and they need more. [[link removed]]

Hi Friend,
Sometimes, little kids face life’s biggest battles.
They’ve been orphaned. They’ve witnessed unspeakable violence. They’ve even seen death.
13-year-old Reza* watched his baby niece slip away after months of hunger. His family lost their jobs to the war in Afghanistan — and then, Reza lost his childhood.
“I feel like crying,” he shared. “Children have nothing to do here… and I’m tired.”
Friend, Reza needs more than a hug to heal. It’s Mental Health Awareness Month — will you use your voice to fight for support? [[link removed]]
Time can’t treat trauma, and teddy bears don’t diagnose depression. But for millions of children living with debilitating mental health disorders, this is the only comfort they’ve got.
The Mental Health in International Development and Humanitarian Settings (MINDS) Act would prioritize psychosocial support in U.S. foreign aid for the first time ever — so kids like Reza finally get a chance to heal.
Because, in his words, “Children really need to live in peace.”
Urge Congress to pass the MINDS Act today. [[link removed]]
Thanks for being a voice for kids,
