Empowering your child
We've put together a Support Pack filled with advice and guidance so you can empower your child on their mental health and well-being journey.
What is mental health?
Every child is unique and mental health difficulties can present in many ways. Recognising the unique needs of neurodiverse children is fundamental in supporting their mental well-being, and influencing their emotional, social, and cognitive development.
Supporting your child
Creating a supportive and nurturing environment, promoting open communication, and fostering strong connections with you, their friends and teachers are key components in promoting positive mental health outcomes for children.
Managing wellbeing
One of the most important strategies to help manage the mental wellbeing of your family is to encourage checking in on each other, allowing time for everyone to talk through their difficulties and ensuring everyone feels equally listened to and understood.
Encouraging mindfulness
Mindfulness is an exercise that is practiced to make you feel fully present and engaged in the current moment. It involves paying attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment, accepting them as they are, and feeling more in-tune with your body, mind and the environment.
Relaxation and meditation strategies
In this bite-size video, we explore how you can encourage your child to take notice of the world around them by creating distance between their thoughts and their mind/body, and how this can be beneficial to mental health and wellbeing.
