Mental Health Awareness Week - Support For Children and Young People 25 May, 2020
While staying at home has been difficult for all of us, losing a sense of routine can be particularly challenging for young people.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re here to remind you of some of the support available to parents who are helping children deal with the uncertainty of our current situation.
Their top tips:
1. Acknowledge that it’s OK to be concerned
2. Find the balance in consuming news
3. Let them know the facts and offer safety
4. Talk about vulnerability and responsibility
The NHS Berkshire West Clinical Commissioning Group have produced three short #Coping guides full of information and advice aimed at children and their parents. These are:
#Coping: Family life during the lockdown
#Coping: Five ways to wellbeing (primary and secondary)
#Coping: Young People’s Guide
You can find out more about how we’re supporting Mental Health Awareness Week on our social media channels and join in the conversation using #KindnessMatters and #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek.
