May is Children’s Mental Health Awareness Month:

 Since 1949, the observance has explored the importance of caring for the mental health of children. Since children's mental health has become progressively more complicated in recent years, these observances have become even more important. This month is meant to promote increased awareness of mental health in children as well as resources meant to help the adults in their lives to assist them.
