About On Our Sleeves®
Children’s mental health matters now more than ever. One in five children is living with mental illness. Yet, there is still stigma. On Our Sleeves was launched by Nationwide Children’s Hospital to build a national movement in support of children through advocacy, education and research. Because children don’t wear their thoughts on their sleeves, we need to give them a voice.
Our mission is to provide every community in America access to free, evidence-informed educational resources necessary for breaking stigmas about child mental health and educating families and advocates. We also work to provide access to trusted resources so that no child or family struggles alone.
Since 2018, we have reached more than two million people with free resources to start conversations and educate families about ways to improve mental health. Additionally, our educator curriculums have reached more than 1.1 million students across the United States.
The time is now to raise our voices, break stigmas, and help families and advocates speak out that mental health is just as important as physical health.
Join us in this empowering movement for children’s mental health.
