Thank you, Costco!
Each year our friends at Costco help to promote Nationwide Children’s Hospital through a month long campaign. The three central Ohio locations rose to the challenge in order to help the cause of pediatric mental health. On World Mental Health Day 2018, Nationwide Children’s Hospital launched the On Our Sleeves movement surrounding mental health in kids.
One in five children is living with a serious mental illness that interferes with everyday life and half of all lifetime mental health concerns start by age 14. On Our Sleeves is the movement to transform children’s mental health through education, advocacy and research. Kids don’t wear their mental health on their sleeves, so there is an unprecedented need for evidence-informed resources and support for children.
Our mission is to provide every community in America with free resources necessary for breaking child mental health stigmas and educating families and advocates – because no child or family should struggle alone. All of Costco’s funds from the 2020 campaign goes to support the On Our Sleeves movement.
