Right nowEvery day, children around the world are grappling with severe mental health challenges. They’re living under circumstances that no child should be faced with — in some cases losing their homes, being forced to flee from their communities, being separated from their parents or caregivers or ending up in the hospital due to illness or injury. Throughout Mental Health Awareness Month, you’ve learned more about the severity of the global mental health crisis, and you’ve generously used your voice to affect change.
It’s critical for every child to have access to psychosocial care — and that’s where UNICEF comes in. In countries like Bangladesh and Myanmar, where children are facing the immediate impacts of Cyclone Mocha, and in countries like Ukraine, where children continue to feel the impacts of conflict and displacement, UNICEF’s ability to ensure children have access to consistent and widespread care is vital.
Today, we want to share a simple step you can take to provide and expand mental health support to children who desperately need it. |
Your support will establish more Child-Friendly Spaces in emergencies, support community-based mental health programs, train teachers to offer psychosocial support and more. As the global mental health crisis wages on, UNICEF teams are committed to continuing to meet the mental health needs of millions of children. We rely on supporters like you to help ensure we’re prepared to respond in emergencies and expand the reach of our services.
Make a contribution today to help deliver mental health support to children around the world who need it most >>
Thank you for taking action,
