Supporting Mental Health and Well-being at Home

Take Notice: Encourage children to share how they are feeling. Speaking as a family is especially important.   

Keep Active: Being active releases happy endorphins around the body and can help our children to feel more positive.

Give: Time to talk, ideas for how to keep positive, time to relax. 

Routine: Having a routine can help children to feel safe.
