Understanding youth mental problems needs to be a priority Children's Mental Health Ontario is rec- ognizing Children's Mental Health Week with a series of initiatives designed to increase understanding of mental health problems in children and youth across On- tario. The Huron -Perth Centre is asking for you to become involved in raising aware- ness. Wear a green ribbon, participate in our workplace awareness campaign - How Long Must I Wait? - and attend our upcom- ing Music for Mental Health concert to be held on May 8 at Central United Church, Stratford at 7:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., admission by free-will donation with proceeds to benefit the work of the Huron - Perth Centre. The Huron -Perth Centre for Children and Youth, the local accredited children mental health centre, funded by the Min- istry of Children and Youth Services over 1200 children, youth and their families each year with various children's mental. health services. While every effort is made to respond to the needs of all requests, lim- ited resources make it difficult 'to see ev- eryone quickly and many must be placed on a waiting list before services can begin. The Huron -Perth Centre works in collabo- ration with schools, doctors, and numerous other professionals to address the needs of children with mental concerns. "At Huron -Perth Centre we are doing what we can with the resources we have to meet the mental health needs of chil- dren and youth in Huron and Perth. But we know that for every child we help due to urgency of their needs there are at least two who much wa' t. We are asking people to become involved by. increasing their understanding of mental health is- sues, supporting family members, friends and neighbors who may be struggling and considering ways to support the work of the Huron -Perth Centre." information on all of thg ways you can help can be found by visiting the Center's website at www, hpcentre.on.ca to download information provided for this year's CMH week. Huron -Perth Centre is coordination its efforts with Children's Mental Health Ontario to raise awareness for children's mental health locally and across the prov- ince. "Everyone can become involved," says Douge Lester, Board President. "With the knowledge that one in five children between three and 17 will struggle with a mental health issue at some time; we all know one or more of these children - in our families, in our circle of friends or in the broader community. The 87 agencies rep- resented by Children's Mental Health On- tario continue to advocate for the need for increased, stable funding to meet the grow- ing needs for children across the province. If ever there has been a time when resourc- es are needed it is now." Wearing a green ribbon is a simple way to indicate concern for the issue. Reducing stigma for mental health issues is a power- ful way to support those who struggle with an issue of anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues that makes it difficult for children and youth to function and feel accepted. The Workplace Awareness Campaign "How Long Must I Wait?" offers informa- tion on the extent of the problem and ways people can help. By sharing information about children's mental health we take a private struggle and make it a matter of public concern. The May 8 concert, Music for Mental Health promises to offer a range of musi- cal talents from individual performances from the Brad Canning, Kim and Sarah Souch, Caitlin Robb, Nicole VanMas- senhoven, Jim Ryan, Betty Beer, Linda Murray, Terri Sparling and two bands, the JanZen Band and Different Stages. The event will offer a range of musical genres 3 including folk, country, soft rock, blues provided by the generosity of local musi- cians. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. with start time scheduled for 7:00 p.m., Central United Church, 194 Avondale Stratford.
