National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week - May 5 to 11, 2013

MHASP will participate in National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week activities with Philadelphia and Montgomery counties in a full day event on Thursday, May 9th at Love Park (16th and JFK Boulevard Philadelphia, PA 19102) and a number of community and school events in Montgomery Co. 

If you’re around, please come out to support the awareness efforts and enjoy the late afternoon flash dance, which will include our staff and young people from around the city and DBH folks.  One of the ways to acknowledge this awareness week is to wear or display a green ribbon.

  • Governor Corbett issued a proclamation making May 9 Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day in Pennsylvania! The proclamation is a “recognition of the vital importance of comprehensive treatment and support service” that are essential in addressing the complex mental health needs of children, youth, and families that are “a critical responsibility upon communities across the Commonwealth.” 
     
  • National Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health organizes the annual National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week: this year's theme is Out of the Shadows: Exposing Stigma.

Occupy the APA - May 5, 2012

We will gather on May 5, 2012, at 10 a.m. at Friends Center, 1515 Cherry Street, Philadelphia, in a peaceful effort to call attention to the American Psychiatric Association’s misguided plans to publish a new edition of psychiatry’s “Bible,” the DSM-5, that will inevitably lead to over-prescription of psychiatric drugs, according to its many critics. At approximately 12:15, we will march to the Pennsylvania Convention Center (12th and Arch Streets), where we will rally. Join us! (Occupy the APA is a big tent: participants will represent a spectrum of points of view. But we will be united by our belief that the DSM-5, which the American Psychiatric Association wants to make its next “Bible,” is not a “Good Book”!) Following are links to two sets of talking points (the first set of which was adapted from information provided by the Coalition for DSM-5 Reform, a psychologists’ organization that has amassed more than 13,000 signatures on a petition calling the DSM-5 into question):
