May 6, 2010 is National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day and this year's theme is "I Choose to Care." The Tennessee Department of Mental Health hopes everyone will take this opportunity to help promote positive youth development, resilience, recovery, and the transformation of mental services delivery for children and youth with serious mental health needs, and their families. Positive mental health is essential to a child’s overall healthy development and we hope you will "Choose to Care" today - and everyday - to help raise awareness of children’s mental health needs.
