Mental Health Awareness Initiative

Through the CDC Cooperative, the Carroll County Health Department is able to provide funds to Carroll County local schools to initiate projects that support the Children’s Mental Health Matters! Annual awareness campaign. Projects to be funded can require up to $4,000 (for a total of 10 awards).

Projects should focus on:
 Increasing public acceptance of children’s mental health as an
important component of child well-being (ie. mental health is not
simply the absence of mental illness).
 Opening up conversations about mental health and substance use to
reduce stigma.
 Strengthening access for children and their families to the resources
necessary to prevent and support mental health challenges.
 Promoting inclusive (developmentally, culturally and linguistically
appropriate), youth driven activities.
 Infusing concepts of resiliency and recovery.

poster challenges, guest speakers/assembly, development of a public
service announcement.
