What does mental health mean for you? I think we all have slightly different takes on it. Some think it means there is a problem in your brain, some link it to brain chemicals and medication. For some, the idea of mental health is out of our control and they may believe mental health issues just happen to us. For me, I take a different stance. I think we have a lot of control and power over our own mental health, it is about our mindset, our thoughts, belief system and perception of things. That is very much in our control. The problem is, we are not taught about it from an early age. What is mental health, why is it important, what are signs that we are struggling to manage it and then how do we learn how to look after ourselves. These are the life lessons we need to begin to teach children in school.
In this episode, we pick apart why it is so important for us to focus on mental health and wellbeing in school. What factors might be influencing our children’s mental health and then what you can do to begin to make a difference and teach them the life skills they need to manage theirs!
