MOVE It Forward 2024:
Inspire, Empower, and MOVE
This year we have partnered with the Youth MOVE Peer Center to host our annual MOVE It Forward campaign!
Check Out Our 2024 Opportunities Below!
MOVE It Forward
Youth MOVE National’s Children’s Mental Health Awareness Campaign “MOVE It Forward” is the slogan for much deeper work—uniting individual youth from Youth MOVE Chapters across the country in crafting and presenting a message, a demand for change. Each year the most pressing issue for our network may change, but Youth MOVE will still be here to MOVE It Forward.
Celebrate Children’s Mental Health Awareness
No matter what your plan is for Children’s Mental Health Awareness (CMHA) Month, we challenge you to post something about your project on your website or social media. This May, share a message online that will be part of your larger campaign. If you have established an idea, make it bigger! Make a flyer, share a graphic, or share a video of your group chatting about the idea. Be sure to @YouthMOVENational and tag us on social media platforms! #CMHA2024 #MoveItForward.

Our Youth MOVE chapters are always on the MOVE, making a difference for their communities! This month is no different. Our chapters are participating in Mental Health Awareness Month in various ways. Take a look!
