Imagine a world where every child's mental health is as important as their physical health. UNICEF and partners are urging governments to prioritize mental health in every family, school, workplace and community, ensuring children and their families get the support they need by promoting the extension of public mental health services such as access to trained counsellors, para-social workers and probation officers. #OnMyMind
