On Our Sleeves
A national movement to promote children’s mental wellness and prevent crises
Because kids don’t always wear their thoughts on their sleeves, it can be difficult to tell when a child is struggling.

Created by behavioral health experts, these tools provide education and action-oriented strategies to start conversations and boost mental wellness in children during your everyday life.

Mental Health Benefits of Friendship
Children’s friendships not only make life more fun, but they can be essential for mental health. Both being a friend and having social connections support overall wellness.
But it’s not always easy for kids to forge those connections. How can you help them make friends? Start by having conversations with your children about this topic. Download our handout, Let’s Talk About Kids’ Friendships (also available in Spanish), which includes conversation starters to spark meaningful discussions.
