Speak Up for Kids Coming This May

This May, the Child Mind Institute presents Speak Up for Kids, a month-long online dialogue to promote children's mental health and eliminate barriers to care.

There will be 13 informative and thought provoking webcasts. Please join us!

You might be thinking, these are formidable issues, what can I do? Well, you can make a difference. Watch one or more of the webcasts. Talk about it to friends. The impact can grow quickly. Remember that ‘80s Faberge Shampoo commercial? And they told two friends, and so on and so on.

(We realize that many of the live events may not be at a conducive/suitable time of day. Never fear, all events will be posted within 24 hours for you to view at a more conducive time.)
