About Child Health Month (CHM)
Tennessee Child Health Month (CHM) is a call to all families, educators, health professionals, faith-based and community organizations and all levels of government to help ensure Tennessee’s children are healthy. Tennessee invites all individuals, families, and organizations to positively impact the lives of children and their families by participating in Child Health Month activities each October.
The Tennessee Department of Health (TDH) is recognizing Child Health Month (CHM) throughout the month of October. This annual recognition is a time to celebrate and raise awareness around what Tennessee is doing to promote the health of our most important resource: Tennessee’s Children.
The theme for CHM 2023 is Inspiring the Future. Tennesseans have faced many challenges over the last two years. Together, we can ensure that parents/caregivers, teachers, community members, and professionals are equipped with the tools they need to promote health practices and resiliency to improve the health of Tennessee’s children. All children and teens deserve to be as healthy as they can, while also being empowered and inspiried to acheive what they desire in life.
Inspiring the Future
