Take a PAWS with CALi!

Happy Children’s Mental Health Week! As advocates of early relational health and partners in this work, we’re proud to amplify DECAL’s annual celebration.

GA-AIMH kicked off the week with our Early Childhood Summit, bringing together more than 100 professionals dedicated to supporting children and their families. This gathering not only marked the start of Children’s Mental Health Week, but also the beginning of a special series of events celebrating five years of impact at GA-AIMH.

The summit featured a powerful grounding talk by Dr. Lee Johnson III, inviting us to reflect on one simple yet powerful question: What Will the Children Remember? We also heard from Dr. Jennifer Mascaro, who shared insights on sustaining this work and moving from burnout to balance.
