Don't forget to take action in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month and the well-being of millions of children.

1 in 7 adolescents aged 10-19 live with a diagnosable mental disorder. As mounting crises cause trauma and disrupt children’s lives, now is the time to invest in their mental health.

Your action today will help make a difference.

Urge your member of Congress to pass the Mental Health in International Development and Humanitarian Settings (MINDS) Act to prioritize support for children’s mental health >>

Thank you,

Throughout Mental Health Awareness Month, we’ve given you a closer look at the state of children’s mental health here at home and around the world. You’ve learned that more than 13 percent of the world’s adolescents live with a mental disorder and seen how historic underinvestment in mental health is harming millions of children.

You understand that lifelong mental health and well-being starts in childhood. And now, you have a chance to help improve mental health support and access for every child.

Use your voice to call on your members of the House and Senate to co-sponsor and pass the Mental Health in International Development and Humanitarian Settings (MINDS) Act, which will extend meaningful support for children’s mental health as part of U.S. foreign assistance.

In less than a few minutes, you can help support children’s mental health.

The impacts of global crises — from war in Ukraine to hunger in Yemen — are causing long-term trauma for millions of children.

Without funding to address mental health issues, children's development could suffer. | Urge Congress to pass the MINDS Act and prioritize mental health services for children. | Speak out now

Investing in children’s mental health and well-being is critical to help them develop and live their best lives. Together, we can promote positive mental health and help children thrive. Take a moment to help pass the MINDS Act and ensure that children have support >>

Thank you for taking action,
