Canopy Launched Zero Suicide Task Force

Each September, a month-long campaign for Suicide Prevention Month is held to raise awareness about the warning signs of suicidal behavior and how suicide can be prevented. Suicide is the second most common cause of death for children and young adults in the United States, and heartbreakingly, that number is on the rise. However, these deaths are 100% preventable.

Mental Health Matters

Each May, a nationwide campaign called Children's Mental Health Awareness Month shines a spotlight on the importance of children's mental wellness. By reducing stigmas and encouraging difficult but necessary conversations, Canopy seeks to help children struggling with behavioral and mental health challenges and their families find connections, build community, and receive the help they need to cope and heal.

Canopy Promotes National Foster Care Month

May is a month filled with hope and happiness. Mother's Day allows us to celebrate the moms in our lives. The end of the school year presents days to be filled with the activities we most enjoy. For those graduating school, the next phase of life is on the horizon, overflowing with possibilities. As spring turns into summer, the days get longer, the weather gets sunnier and our lives get brighter.
