November marks the return of National Child Mental Health Month. Started in 1999 by President Bill Clinton, November was set aside to remind us how important Mental Health is for our children.

To find out more about Children and Mental Health please check out the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) an Mental Health America’s sites with many useful materials on everything from Child and Adolescent Mental Health to Preventing Youth Violence.

We also encourage you to talk to your child about mental illness. We have tips on how to help your child Cope with Mental Illness and tips on how to talk with Friends and Family about Mental Illness. Each of these brochures can also be found under the Members tab and by clicking on your specific market and going into the “Member Resources” section.
