On November 19, 2026, CAMH will hold a briefing for congressional staff marking the fifth anniversary of the Declaration of a National Emergency in Child and Adolescent Mental Health issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and Children’s Hospital Association in 2021.
There will be a retrospective of progress made in the last five years as well as discussion of proposals to improve child and adolescent mental health in the next five years and beyond. Speakers will highlight successes from the past few years, including increasing access to mental health services and improvements in preventing youth suicide, as well as policy opportunities to maintain this momentum and comprehensively address the full continuum of youth mental health needs.
Please see the event invitation below for a link to register. Additional resources will be added to this page in the future.
