VMAP Mental Health Awareness Month Toolkit
VMAP has created a communications toolkit for its providers, partners, and stakeholders to use throughout the month of May for Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM) to support awareness of pediatric mental health and the work of VMAP. This toolkit includes sample social media posts, images, and a sample announcement for your website or newsletter.

According to the National Survey of Children’s Health, more than 1 in 5 (22.1%) U.S. children have 1 or more mental, emotional, developmental, or behavioral problems. @VMAPVA is working to ensure that more children have access to providers who are better able to screen, diagnose, manage, and treat mental health. www.VMAP.org

Mental health is an important part of overall health for children. For many adults who have mental disorders, symptoms were present—but often not recognized or addressed—in childhood and adolescence. VMAP is here to support primary care providers and their pediatric patients who are struggling with their mental health. https://vmap.org/about-us/

Many parents go to their child’s pediatrician or PCP when a child is struggling with their #MentalHealth. @VMAPVA provides education and training to these PCPs, so they are better equipped and prepared when their patients come in with mental health concerns or needs. #MentalHealthMonth https://vmap.org/education/
