May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year at H.Y.P.E, we are excited to launch our campaign, "Bridging the Gap: Empowering Youth through Case Management and Mental Health Resources." Our mission is to support the mental health and well-being of young people by connecting them with the resources they need to thrive. We also aim to provide valuable information and support to parents, guardians, and educators who play a crucial role in their lives.

Our campaign is designed to achieve the following objectives:

• Raise awareness about the importance of case management in supporting youth mental health.
• Highlight the mental health resources available to young people and their families.
• Encourage open and honest conversations about mental health within families and communities.
• Break the stigma surrounding mental health issues and seeking help.
• Foster connections between parents, educators, mental health professionals, and case managers.

Join Us with #bridgethegap23:

Throughout May, we will be sharing valuable content, tips, stories, and resources on our website, blog, and social media channels, focusing on the theme of our campaign. We understand that sharing personal stories may not always be possible due to the stigma surrounding mental health. As such, we have adapted our approach to create relatable and engaging content while maintaining privacy and respecting the challenges faced by our community.

We encourage you to join the conversation and help us bridge the gap by using the hashtag #bridgethegap23 when engaging with our content or sharing your own experiences and insights related to youth mental health and case management.

Yes, We even have a Mascot for this Month!

Introducing our original custom-designed mascot, the Wise Iris Owl—an inspiring and unique symbol that captures the heart of our Mental Health Awareness Month campaign, "Bridging the Gap: Empowering Youth through Case Management and Mental Health Resources." Combining the wisdom and guidance of an owl with the hope and resilience symbolized by the iris flower, our mascot embodies our commitment to supporting young people and their families on their mental health journeys.
