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.
