Annually, Mental Health Week is acknowledged during the first week of May with an emphasis on children’s mental health. Recognizing Children’s Mental Health Week is more important than ever!
Children’s Mental Health Week (CMHW) is an opportunity to raise awareness about child and youth mental health and remind families of services available in our community. North Eastern Ontario Family and Children’s Services (NEOFACS) is here to help children, youth, and their families struggling with mental health.
We are encouraging the community to be a part of activities throughout the week. See what's happening during Children's Mental Health Week from May 2-8 at https://www.neofacs.org/CMHW2022.
