INVITE: Mental Health Essentials for Parents and Caregivers - May 8, 2023


Mental Health Essentials for Parents and Caregivers - May 8, 2023

Please join me for a virtual presentation, Mental Health Essentials for Parents and Caregivers, delivered by experts from the Mental Health Collaborative (MHC), a Hopkinton-based nonprofit organization that serves educators, school districts, and families across the country with education on mental health literacy.


This free webinar aims to provide those with children, particularly in grades six through 12, the tools they need to understand their children's stress, identify emotional and behavioral health issues and their treatments, and empower them to obtain and maintain good mental health for their loved ones.


Live translation is available in Portuguese, Spanish, and American Sign Language (ASL). You can register for the event at www.karenspilka.com/mentalhealth.

This event is the sixth year of my #MetroWestKids initiative which has offered programs related to mental health, including social-emotional learning (SEL) and related topics. As a former school committee member and social worker, I know the important role mental health plays in education. Last year, my priority legislation to deliver nation-leading reforms for mental health care in Massachusetts, the Mental Health ABC Act, was signed into law. This development could not come at a more critical time.

In MetroWest and across the state, parents have shared concerns with me about their children's mental health and their family's ability to access quality mental health care. This event will provide you with the tools you need to support your child or students. Knowing whether to worry and when, where, and how to get help is key. It's important that we overcome the stigma that has prevented too many of us from taking good care of our mental health for too long.


I hope you will find this presentation useful. Please contact my office at (617) 722-1500 if you have questions or for more information.
