It has been over a year since the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) together representing more than 77,000 physician members and more than 200 children's hospitals, declared a national state of emergency in child and adolescent mental health and are calling on policymakers to join them. While progress has been made in the past year, more work needs to be done.  

Tell federal lawmakers today that children’s mental health is suffering, and that more action is needed to help identify and promote efforts to improve mental health access.
