Parents and caregivers are often the first to notice when something feels different. Changes in mood, sleep, appetite or behavior may signal a young person needs support.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, ACTS is promoting awareness and understanding by addressing common mental health myths. 💚

Myth: Stress and anxiety are the same thing.
Fact: Stress is usually connected to a specific situation, while anxiety can continue even without a clear cause.

Let's show up for this month together.
