Coming up next week!

Anxiety and stress don’t always follow a calendar.

Changes in routines, busy schedules, school transitions, social pressures, and everyday challenges can affect the mental health of children and young people throughout the year.

Rosecrance recently shared some helpful reminders about recognizing anxiety, making space to recharge, and knowing when it may be time to ask for support.

These are the kinds of conversations we need to keep having — which is why United Voices for Children is bringing the community together for Raising Our Voices 2026.

Every Child. Every Voice. Every Future.

Join us on September 24 for an event focused on Youth Mental Health & Anti-Bullying, featuring mental health professionals, advocacy and legislative updates, and our annual Child Advocate Awards.

📅 Thursday, September 24, 2026
🕚 11 a.m.–1 p.m. | Doors open at 10:30 a.m.
📍 Grace United Methodist Church | Rockford
🍽️ Lunch provided, $15

Come learn, connect, and be part of the conversation about how we can better support children and young people.
