The Children's Partnership and the Child and Youth Mental Health Planning Partnership hosted our community’s “Children's Mental Health Awareness Day" event on Tuesday May 8, 2007 towards achieving the following goals:

To raise awareness of children’s mental health issues in our community.

To reduce through information sharing, the stigma surrounding children’s mental health.

To emphasize that “it takes community to raise a child,” and recognize the many who have stepped up to make Austin a community in which children and youth can thrive.

To demonstrate how our System of Care community promotes prevention, recovery and resiliency for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances and their families.
