Last week, on Thursday, May 6th, Children’s Friend participated in Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day. We joined with organizations across the country to help bring attention to the importance of positive social and emotional development of our children.

All of our sites participated in activities and workshops which included reading, painting and drawing. These activities helped to encourage conversations with children about having and expressing feelings.

Thanks to all who helped make this enjoyable and informative day possible. We appreciate the support of our partners including The Parent Support Network, Positive Educational Partnerships, Department of Children, Youth, and Families, and Rhode Island College.
