May is both Mental Health Awareness Month and Child’s Month and we’re centering the conversation where it matters most: OUR CHILDREN.

All month long, we’ll be sharing practical tips, real conversations, and insights from child & adolescent psychologists and parents on raising mentally healthy children.

We close the month with a powerful virtual experience:
🎬 Pickney Voices: Jamaican Children’s Mental Health & Lived Experiences
In collaboration with Films that Move.
📅 Sunday, May 31, 2026
⏰ 5:00–7:00 PM

Through film and guided discussion, we’ll explore the real experiences of Jamaican children and how these shape their mental health, wellbeing, and future.

Let’s use this month to listen more, understand deeper, and show up better for our children.

💙 World Autism Day – Let’s Do More Than Awareness

Today isn’t just about knowing autism exists, it’s about showing up, listening, and embracing neurodiversity. Acceptance means creating spaces where autistic people feel seen, respected, and valued every single day.

Let’s move beyond awareness. Let’s act. Let’s include. Let’s support.
