This weekend, Dr. Harold S. Koplewicz and Dr. Dave Anderson had the honor of attending the third annual Children’s & Family Emmy Awards alongside California’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kim J. We were thrilled that our Healthy Minds, Thriving Kids (HMTK) Pre-K mental health fitness video series—funded by the State of Ohio—was nominated for Best Short Form Live Action Program! Designed for children ages 3-5, HMTK Pre-K provides engaging videos and activity guides to help young learners navigate emotions, build essential communication skills, and develop the foundation for healthy relationships. To celebrate our nomination and the ongoing work of the Child Mind Institute, longtime supporters Desiree Gruber and Kyle MacLachlan hosted a special dinner on March 12th. The evening brought together an inspiring group, including Orlando Bloom, Maria Menounos, Eve Jaffe, and Ross Jaffe, in support of children’s mental health. We’re deeply grateful to our partners and friends for championing this mission with us. Together, we’re making a lasting impact on children’s mental health.

Last week the Child Mind Institute hosted an event at UCLA to celebrate the launch of Mirror: Journaling & Insights — a free, intuitive mental health journaling app to help teens process emotions and build self-awareness through mood tracking, guided prompts, and private self-expression. The event, Prioritizing Mental Health Fitness: Child Mind Institute Special Discussion on Mental Health & Wellbeing, featured UCLA student-athletes Daniella Ramirez (Team USA Artistic Swimming Olympic Medalist), Emma Malabuyo (2024 Philippines Olympian and UCLA Gymnast), and Sophia Hartwell (UCLA Track & Field Athlete) in conversation with Jocelyn Meza, PhD, Assistant Professor In-Residence at UCLA and Director of the Youth Mental Health Academy Evaluation Core. Their discussion focused on strategies the athletes use to prioritize mental health while balancing the demands of school, training, and competition, and explored how tools like Mirror can support students in managing academic and athletic pressures. 📲 Learn more about Mirror and download the app on the App Store and Google Play Store: https://lnkd.in/eqRMdyxq
