Join us as we explore the impact of family dynamics on mental health, including how to support one another and maintain open communication.

7 ways to parent kids toward mental health: 

  • Practice what you preach
  • Set boundaries
  • Take responsibility for your own emotions
  • Model healthy expression of emotion
  • Encourage emotional literacy in children
  • Build support systems
  • Self care through rest and healthy living
  • Protect kids from unsupervised use of technology and social media
