Every ticket purchased helps support COCA’s mission to prevent child abuse and bullying through education and public awareness programs across our community.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to highlight the importance of mental well-being for individuals and families. Parents and caregivers are often the first to notice when something feels different in a young person. Changes in mood, sleep, appetite, energy, or behavior can be early signs that a child may need support.

Trust your instincts. Starting a conversation and seeking help early can make a meaningful difference in a young person’s life.
