Foster Care Month

Foster Care Month

National Foster Care Month provides an opportunity to shine a light on the experiences of the more than 380,000 children and youth under 18 in the foster care system. Change a lifetime. Help raise awareness about the urgent needs of these young people and encourage citizens from every walk of life to get involved – as foster or adoptive parents, volunteers, mentors, employers or in other ways.

Mental Health Awareness Month & Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day

Most families in the United States are affected by mental illness in some capacity. According to the Surgeon General, 28 to 30 percent of the population has either a mental disorder or addictive disorder in any given year. About 20 percent of children are estimated to have mental disorders with at least mild functional impairment. Although there can be many barriers to treatment for those seeking help—including access, finances, stigma, fear of discrimination, and denial—individuals who receive appropriate mental and behavioral health treatment can lead satisfying, productive lives.
