At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
This day is observed all over the USA.
This day is observed by mental health experts and people who value mental health.
This day was first observed in 2017.
It is said that this day was the initiative of Shanti Das, founder of Silence The Shame non-profit organization.
Here is a timeline of how Silence The Shame Day came into existence.
Every year, the non-profit organization Silence The Shame creates elaborate events and social media efforts to bring more awareness against the stigma associated with mental illness.
People reach out to the community and talk about seeking treatment and counseling sessions for the guilt and stress associated with shame.
There are many support groups and individuals who make this day more special by raising awareness and reaching out to the affected people.
If you know anyone going through anxiety, distress, and associated symptoms of shame, then reach out to them and offer them resources that can help.
If you are a mental health expert, then use the day to contribute to the mental wellness of one or more patients, organize camps, or offer free counseling to the less privileged.
You can distribute resources that offer education against shame to your family members and friends to make them aware of what shame can do.
Families can observe this day by focusing on mind-related wellness within the family and helping members in need get the right professional support and stay away from any kind of stigma.
Shanti Das, a philanthropist, created the Silence The Shame Movement to empower those struggling with mental illness.
Related days include Mental Health Day, Time to Talk Day, and more.
