Six ways to support positive mental health in children

Keeping children healthy and happy involves looking after their mental health as well as their physical health. Mental health is about having a healthy mind and body and influences how we feel about ourselves, what we do, how we think and how we relate to others. Good mental health helps us to form positive relationships with others, handle ups and downs and generally enjoy life. With good mental health, children can feel good about themselves and be more open to trying and learning new things.
