Parents play a critical role in their children’s mental health and well-being, but many parents don’t know where to start. It can be difficult to find the right words and feel comfortable talking about such a sensitive topic.
Talking about mental health with your child is important because it can help them:
Identify mental health concerns
Recognize warning signs
Know what to do when someone is in distress
Be prepared to seek help if they need it
Here are some things you can do to help your child:
Ask them what they think about mental health
Talk about mental health with your child as much as you think they are ready to hear
Help them understand mental health concepts
Listen to the concerns they bring to you
Encourage them to seek help if they need it
Let them know they are not alone
Share your own experiences with mental health
