Right now an estimated 14 percent of the world’s adolescents are living with a mental health condition.
As international investment in mental health and psychosocial support services remains extremely low, millions of children aren’t receiving enough support to process the long-term effects of disruptive challenges like war, conflict and displacement.
We must act now to ensure that every child has access to mental health services that will help them cope, recover and reach their potential. Urge your legislators to pass the Mental Health in International Development and Humanitarian Settings (MINDS) Act, which will prioritize mental health services for children around the world >> |
Lifelong mental health and well-being starts in childhood. With greater investments, we can help more children cultivate positive mental health and thrive in their communities.
You can play a major role in securing better mental health support and access for every child.
Before Mental Health Awareness Month ends, use your voice to show Congress why it’s so important to prioritize children’s mental health >>
Thank you for your action,
UNICEF USA |
