May is mental health awareness month and I want to highlight some of the excellent work that is being done at the Children's Mental Health Resource Center (CMHRC). CMHRC offers diagnostic consultations to families. The diagnostic process can be a confusing one for parents and caregivers. Insurance, DSM, and ICD-10 codes often dictate what diagnosis a child will be labeled with and parents don’t always get a complete explanation of why that diagnosis was given. Many families have difficulty accessing assessments for their children because of waiting lists for qualified providers or because of insurmountable geographic or financial obstacles. CMHRC works with families and healthcare providers to provide straightforward information designed to facilitate access to accurate diagnosing and effective treatment -- all of which can be lifechanging to the child and parents. If you're feeling generous this month, consider making a donation to CMHRC. I serve on the board of this fantastic org and support their work with a monthly donation. https://lnkd.in/gz58MuZq

A bit about NAMI: "NAMI is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health. Today, we are an alliance of more than 600 local affiliates who work in your community to raise awareness and provide support and education that was not previously available to those in need." A bit about NAMI Walks: "At NAMIWalks, we don’t just walk the walk. We are the walk. I am hope. I am inclusion. I am empowerment. I am compassion. I am NAMIWalks. The annual NAMIWalks event connects our Orange County, NY community to the life-changing mental health programs and resources that NAMI offers.

OUT OF THE DARKNESS: Walking Together for Suicide Prevention *** We will match the first $500 in donations *** Friends, I’m reaching out today to share something deeply personal and important. This year, my family and I are taking part in the Out of the Darkness Community Walk with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. We are walking with a Team organized by Sam Sheeder to raise awareness and much-needed funds for suicide prevention, an issue that has touched us personally, as I know it has for so many others. Mental health struggles and suicide are often difficult to talk about, but they shouldn't be. It’s time we normalize these conversations—because mental health is just as important as physical health. By opening up, we can break the silence that surrounds these issues, offer support, and remind each other that none of us has to face this battle alone. I’m asking for your help, not just to honor those we've lost, but to provide hope for those who are still struggling. Your donation, no matter the size, will support AFSP's mission to fund research, create educational programs, and advocate for policies that save lives. Together, we can create a culture that prioritizes mental health and supports those in need. Please consider donating to our team’s fundraising efforts. Every contribution brings us one step closer to a world where talking about mental health is the norm, and where everyone has the support they need. Thank you. https://lnkd.in/eQfDbQQ8
Please support the Annapolis Walk this fall to help #stopsuicide

Eight-year-old Jason has been on our waiting list since March, suffering from sleeplessness, headaches, and school refusal. After a work restructure, his mum is struggling to find a new school-friendly job which, combined with a 30% rent increase and other rising living costs, is causing family strain. The family is forced to consider moving, which Jason dreads due to fear of losing his school and friends. He repeatedly asks his dad, "Are we poor?" Their GP suggested Jason's symptoms were anxiety-related and recommended Expressive Therapy with us. With 45 other children on our wait list, Jason's case highlights the urgent need for assistance to prevent these issues from becoming lifelong problems. Consider making an EOFY tax-deductible donation to help us get more children like Jason into therapy sooner. bit.ly/KidsXpress_EOFY2024
