Children's Initiative International Children's Mental Health
"War, famine, disease, poverty, refugee dislocations—all
affect millions of children around the world. Most relief efforts,
including new vaccine initiatives, are directed to child survival.
Yet the psychosocial effects of violence, trauma, armed conflict,
and dislocation can be just as deadly to the normal growth and development
of children and adolescents, and of entire societies. Should we worry
about quality of life issues when children are dying of starvation
and disease? Is a focus on mental health justified when life itself
is in jeopardy? What would it mean to expand our focus to children
not just surviving but thriving?" --ICMH Strategic plan
Children's
Hour
Through the Children's Hour™ campaign, our goal is to focus
local, national, and international attention on the urgent needs of
the world's young people, while raising substantial new resources
to better meet those needs. Young people growing up at the dawn of
the 21st century are living in a time of great hope and complex challenges.
With your help, Children's Hour™ and IYF can address these critical
issues and provide opportunities so that children and youth around
the world may realize their full potential.
