Welcome to Children’s News, a program of the Mental Health Association in Pennsylvania (MHAPA) and its affiliates across the state.
We provide information for families on children’s mental health issues in Pennsylvania – including advocacy efforts, events, and policies – and offer families the opportunity to share information on these issues with us. Sign up (on sidebar) to receive Children’s News, our monthly newsletter, which offers useful information and help for the families of children living with mental illness.
And send your questions to Ask the Advocate, a monthly feature that answers readers’ questions about support, services, and policies related to children.
