Today is National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day.


Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day is a powerful reminder that mental health starts early—and that children and adolescents deserve timely, effective, and compassionate care.


At NEI, we are committed to supporting the clinicians who care for young patients facing mental health disorders. As the needs of this population continue to grow, so does our dedication to equipping providers with practical tools, trusted education, and evidence-based resources.
