On May 15, join with us and hundreds of mental health advocates will march at the State Capitol building to call on lawmakers to invest more funding into mental health resources and professionals across the Commonwealth.
The rally will include speeches from mental health leaders such as Representative Mike Schlossberg and former Deputy Secretary Joan Erney. The rally will convene on the steps of the Capitol building at 1pm on Wednesday, May 15th. We are encouraging our partners and stakeholders to attend the rally, and Children First will be hosting a special event for advocates following the rally at the nearby Susquehanna Art Museum.
On exhibit at the museum is the I’m Fine project, which is an exhibit of over 1,000 masks made by people with mental health challenges to represent how we hide or minimize our emotions and mental health challenges. The event will feature a panel discussion to highlight the need for increased resources and supports for young people’s mental health and explore the ways that art can be healing for young people.
