"The mental health journey caring for a child is not easy. It does not magically go away when your child turns 18. It's the same book -- just a different chapter."

CHANGING THE LANGUAGE FROM MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS TO
"MENTAL HEALTH ACCEPTANCE"
See what our families describe what mental health acceptance means to them
With acceptance there is ACTION!
Stop judging!
We have been dealing with mental health disorders before the pandemic. Welcome to our world!
Knowing it's a long road that you do not have to travel alone.
With acceptance there is ACTION!
My child has a voice and is not just a number, not just another statistic, not just another survey. What impact are you making in my child's life after you receive the data?
My child should feel like he/she is
valued at school. Understand, accept and support their diagnosis.
Stop saying there is a stigma when it comes to mental illness. It is discrimination not a stigma.
Therapy is a good if linked to the right therpaist.
Be intentional about self-care
Parents/cargivers -- it is okay
to say you are tired and need a
break!
Accept the fact that my child is not perfect! No one is perfect!
Awareness is not enough.
Action is needed. Enough
with the buzzwords!
Accept the fact that we need more services for our famillies.
My child is not bad. My child is not a criminal. I am not a "bad" parent. My child has a disorder.
There are different levels of mental health -- it is not a one size fits all
