Resources

Mental Health Awareness Month is celebrated to fight stigma, educate the public, and advocate for policies that support people with mental illness. We’ve put together an online collection of social media posts and graphics to outline the significant role mental health plays in overall health and wellness and promote better mental health for children, families, and caregivers.

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re sharing a social media toolkit and infographic to raise awareness and share resources that can change the way the world sees mental health. Download these resources to use on your own social channels and make sure to tag @NICHQ so we can like and share your post.

This action kit is designed to reduce loss to follow-up for newborns after their initial hearing screening. The kit offers solutions for engaging families and enrolling newborns in early intervention services. The ideas can help audiologists and EHDI offices improve outcomes for infants with hearing loss.

In the Spread of Quality Improvement for Children and Youth with Special Healthcare Needs: An integrated Systems Strategy for Building the Title V Infrastructure project, NICHQ was tasked with improving the health and well being of children and youth with special healthcare needs and their families through building the capacity of state Title V programs to create and sustain effective community-based systems of care for this population. This report documents NICHQ's learnings and impact.

This report summarizes NICHQ's learnings and impact from the Improving Follow-Up to Newborn Hearing Screening by Working Through the Medical Home project, which sought to improve the long term outcomes for children with hearing loss by strengthening follow up to newborn hearing screenings.
