Speaking on Behalf of Children

Parents for Children’s Mental Health realizes that:

  • Funding for children’s mental health services is inadequate
  • There is no law that says children have the right to mental health services
  • There are long wait lists for services/supports
  • Families are overwhelmed/at the breaking point

We have developed several advocacy tools to help you let government know of your concern about Children’s Mental Health Services in Ontario.

Advocate; verb
To support or recommend publicly; plead for or speak in favour of

Advocate; noun

  1. A person who upholds or defends a cause
  2. A person who intercedes on behalf of another

Please use the links below to access our Template Letters, Fact Sheet, addresses to write to, and Postcard.

We encourage you to distribute these advocacy tools to family and friends. We must make this message loud and clear.

Together we can help to improve children’s mental health in Ontario.
