May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚
Recognizing signs of mental health struggles in children and teens is a shared responsibility.

💚 Parents and caregivers are often the first to notice when something feels different. Changes in mood, sleep, appetite or behavior may signal a young person needs support.

💚 Sometimes the most important step is listening. Taking time to listen to the concerns of a young person in your life can help them feel safe sharing what they’re experiencing.

💚 Young people thrive when support comes early. Encouraging open conversations about mental health can help children and teens feel supported in reaching out.

💚 Families, schools, healthcare providers, and communities all play a role in early identification and support.

Help is available 24/7. Call or text 988.
