The Children's Mental Health Acceptance Day Event has been held annually since 2005. This event had a humble start in the parking lot of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division, Hawaii Family Guidance Center parking lot, with a small handful of attendees. Now it has grown in size, to approximately 500 youth and families attending and 40 community provider agencies participating and providing enriching information about their services. The event also began featuring interactive booths, where attendee's get to learn about various mental health topics. Door prizes, honoring and recognition of influential community providers, free refreshments, and entertainment are some of the activities that highlight the event. It has been through the generousity of our community that this event has been successful.
