Mental health is an important part of overall health for children and adolescents. Many adults with mental disorders had symptoms that were not recognized or addressed in childhood or adolescence.

Help raise awareness about the importance of children’s mental health and early diagnosis and treatment by sharing information and materials from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) based on the latest research.

Download and share informational graphics, social media messages, and videos, to help raise awareness about child and adolescent mental health.
