In honor of May being both National Mental Health Awareness Month and National Foster Care Month, help reduce the stigma associated with mental health by talking about it! Participate in Young Minds Advocacy’s “Raise the Standard” campaign: print out a copy of their template (found here), fill in what your wish for Youth Mental Health is and post to your Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #MentalHealthWish.
