14th Annual

Unmasking Children’s Mental Health Mardi Gras Benefit Ball 

Georgia Parent Support Network, Inc. is excited to announce the 14th Annual Unmasking Children’s Mental Health Mardi Gras Benefit Ball. Let the good times roll as we crown the Queen or King of the Ball, dance the night away to lively music, enjoy thrilling games, delicious Cajun fare and bid generously in live and silent auctions.  

UNMASKING CHILDRENS MENTAL HEALTH

Childhood mental disorders affect boys and girls of all ages, ethnic/racial backgrounds, and living in all regions of the United States.  According to the CDC, 1 in 5 children experiences a mental disorder in a given year.   Georgia Parent Support Network is working hard to ensure that Georgia families have access to care, education and a voice in the process of change.

OUR WORK TO BUILD A STRONG COMMUNITY

GPSN is a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency, and is dedicated to providing services, support, education and advocacy for children and youth with mental illness, emotional disturbances and behavioral differences.  Since 1989, GPSN has been a voice for children and adolescents who do not have a voice, advocating for mental health reforms in the legislature; we provide Family Support Partners, help youth who are transitioning out of child and adolescent mental health services to become independent instead of homeless; and we support the statewide Youth M.O.V.E. Georgia chapter that empowers young adults to become active participants in mental health advocacy and peer support.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Unmasking Children’s Mental Illness Mardi Gras Benefit Ball is our premier fundraising event.  It is through strong partnerships that GPSN is able to provide training, life skills, mentoring, and peer support to Georgia families and young adults.  Please help us Unmask Children's Mental Health and consider becoming an event sponsor or donor.
