May 7th – Child & Youth Mental Health Day

Sharing the Care Means:

We can't expect any one person, or any one service, to be ALL that our children and youth need to be mentally well. 

WE MUST COME TOGETHER AND WRAP AROUND OUR KIDS AND OUR FAMILIES.

Please JOIN US if COMING TOGETHER is IMPORTANT TO YOU

We hope that many of you have heard of and/or are participating in the many events happening all over communities in BC.  We have partnered with The Institute of Families every year since one of our Founders started May 7th as Child & Youth Mental Health Day with another mom in 2007.  This is Year 9.
There are over 350 sites participating this year – that we know of !  Of these sites, 193 May 7^th would not be the same without the BC Sponsors:  RBC Foundation and the BC Psychiatric Association.  A big shout out to them !  a special thanks to the Vancity Branches that ordered t-shirts and materials for May 7th -  thank you for showing that child and youth mental health is important to you.
The unveiling of the Green Sharing the Care t-shirts in Vancouver BC on April 8^th – 60 youth and parents helped show the new look
