Happiness is … Happy, healthy children! 😃

Children’s Mental Health Week raises awareness and the importance of mental health support for our youth by focusing on helping children feel they belong and have safe, secure environments.

In 2025, nearly 20% of adolescents screened positive for depression nationwide. Encouraging children of all ages to live happy, healthy lifestyles is something we take seriously!

February serves as a reminder to focus on our mental and emotional well-being. It’s essential to promote self-check routines to avoid long term mental health challenges.

National Self-Check Month aims to encourage self-empowering habits, provide tools and resources for healthy routines, and motivate individuals to take early detection action. Discussing mental health can be challenging for some, however, by talking to loved ones and professionals about concerns can significantly reduce long term effects.

🚨 It is our responsibility to take charge of our mental health! Don’t forget to download your daily reflections sheets and reach out for professional support when needed!
