Due to the various stigmas associated with anxiety and emotional disorders, many children shy away from and/or aren't provided the attention and support they need to cope with their anxiety. Organizations like the Child Mind Institute seek to promote the importance of mental health for children while working to eradicate these dangerous and fallacious stigmas. I believe that both educating children on the importance of mental health and endeavoring to mitigate or eliminate the stigmas are essential to helping children garner the courage to find camaraderie and seek help. I identify with many of the children that organizations like Child Mind serve; the lack of mental health awareness for children and adolescents is an issue that I am extremely passionate about.
