Mental health literacy is the ability to prevent, recognize and cope with mental health conditions.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health disorders were the most common diseases of childhood. Some are even declaring a pediatric mental health emergency. Whether your child is doing fine and you want to prevent future mental health issues, your child just doesn’t seem like their usual self, or your child has actually declared suicidal thoughts, you can help.
