The Loyola University Chicago Children¿s Legal Rights Journal proudly announces ¿Shifting Perspectives in Children¿s Mental Health,¿ to be held on October 9, 2015.
This symposium will consider the central issues surrounding children¿s mental health from a variety of professional perspectives¿legal, psychiatric, medical, social work, and education¿with one goal in mind: understanding and representing the whole child. A child¿s mental health is undeniably one of the most important aspects of his or her social and cognitive development, yet the subject of mental health is ignored or highly stigmatized in many communities in the United States and around the world. We have come a long way since carting off individuals to institutions similar to prison, but there is much work to be done. Understanding and accepting mental health is an important part of a child¿s¿and every person¿s¿health and well being.
