DSCYF - Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families

The month of May is a significant time for thousands of children in this country. May is National Foster Care Month, which provides an opportunity for people all across the nation to focus attention on the year-round needs of children and youth in foster care. The campaign raises awareness about foster care and encourages many more citizens to get involved in the lives of these youth. May is also Mental Health Month. There is a social stigma associated with mental illness and this stigma prevents the majority of people with mental illnesses from seeking help. Mental Health Month is designed to increase awareness and reduce stigma about mental illness.
