About Speak Up for Kids

This event is part of the Child Mind Institute’s Speak Up
for Kids, a public education campaign held each May to battle the stigma and
misinformation that prevent kids from getting life-changing treatment. By
promoting awareness and engaging a broad coalition of partners, the campaign
sparks the national attention that children’s mental health deserves.
