Our mission is to improve the well-being of children in Michigan by promoting the addition of mental health awareness courses to curriculum for all K-8 schools.
Hi! I'm Paige, the creator of the campaign "Children's Mental Health Matters"
As someone who has struggled with anxiety all throughout my life, I know the importance of accessing resources to help one's mental health. In our world today, there are a plethora of things that can impact the mental health of students in K-8 Michigan schools. One way Michigan schools can address the mental health crisis within students is by requiring mental health awareness classes to be taught in K-8 curriculum. By adding mental health awareness classes into students’ curriculum, more children will be able to identify the early signs of mental health disorders, whether that be within themselves or maybe their friends/peers! Additionally, students will know about the resources and coping techniques that are available to them if they are struggling with their mental health.

The statistics of childhood mental health disorders can no longer be ignored.
