Since its founding in 2016 at Lee Health and Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida, Kids’ Minds Matter has been dedicated to increasing awareness of the need for expanded pediatric mental and behavioral health care in the five-county region of Florida including Lee, Collier, Glades, Hendry and Charlotte counties.

The generosity and interest of our community during Unmasking the Epidemic shows that real change is possible. Over the past year, with the isolation imposed upon our children due to the global pandemic, ongoing support to continue to add and grow additional services is needed now more than ever.

You can help youth like Damini receive the right care at the right time and place. Our children should not have to be in crisis for us to support their mental health needs. The need is real, and it is immediate.
