Governor McMaster has proclaimed May 2021 as
Children’s Mental Health Month
in South Carolina!
Did You Know
1 in 5 South Carolina children has a behavioral health challenge that requires treatment?
Ensuring the emotional health of children and youth is essential to their growth and development.
There is hope!
When children and youth receive mental health treatment, there is an 80% success rate. We can all do better by learning to recognize the early warning signs of mental health problems and where children, youth and their families can obtain necessary assistance and treatment.

Families of children and youth with mental health challenges have unique needs and unique opportunities. Through training, ongoing support and community networks, family members can take an active role in the healing and recovery process—matching hope with action
