Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids. 

John — 

14% of the world’s children are battling a mental health disorder.  

But less than 1% of global health assistance has ever been designated to support them.  

The MINDS Act would change that for the first time in history, helping millions of kids heal from grief, anxiety, depression and devastating traumas.  

We just celebrated World Mental Health Day, John, Will you speak up to show your support?

This World Mental Health Day, we’re shattering the stigma and fighting for the MINDS Act. Will you help?

John, it’s World Mental Health Day. I could start with a shocking statistic… but today, I don’t want to dwell on kids’ suffering.  

I want to celebrate how life-changing the right support can be. So, here’s a story with a happy ending. 

Surviving the war in Syria was just the beginning of Jana’s* journey. After her family reached safety, she faced what felt like an impossible task: calling a refugee camp home. 

Jana was sad, isolated and angry for a long time. Then, she joined an emotional support group — and found joy in new hobbies. Her favorites are soccer, drawing and riding her bike!  

Mental health support helped Jana heal from years of trauma. That’s why the MINDS Act matters… it’d bring hope to millions of kids like her. 

John , 1 in 6 children are battling a mental health disorder. The Mental Health in International Development and Humanitarian Settings (MINDS) Act would make supporting them a key part of U.S. foreign aid for the first time ever. 

For kids coping with crisis, surviving is just the beginning. Tell Congress to protect their futures by passing the MINDS Act!

Thanks for being a voice for kids,

Christy Gleason
