On Our Sleeves

A national movement to promote children’s mental wellness and prevent crises.

Because kids don’t always wear their thoughts on their sleeves, it can be difficult to tell when a child is struggling.

Finding a Mental Health Therapist for Your Child

It can be stressful to see your child struggle with their mental health. Navigating the mental health care system and finding a therapist can feel like a lot to figure out. Our mental health experts have information on where to start and what questions to ask.
 

Our Mission

The mission of On Our Sleeves is to provide every community access to free, evidenced-informed educational resources necessary for breaking stigmas about child mental health, and educating families and advocates. We also support access to services by connecting families to trusted local resources.

It’s time to have an important local and national conversation about children’s mental health. It’s time to raise our voices for this important cause.
