Behaviour & Mental Health

Let's talk it over….

 

What is Behaviour & Mental Health?

 

Mental health is concerned with your psychological state and what makes you unique. Behavioural health addresses how mental health influences particular behaviours, but it also considers how action impacts physical and psychological well-being. Overall, developing one commonly improves the other.

Childhood Mental Health Treatment Challenges

Childhood growth normally entails change, making mental health illnesses in children hard to grasp. A child's condition symptoms may vary with age, and they may not be able to express how they feel or behave. Some other issues may hinder parents from getting treatment for a child with a suspected mental condition. Parents may worry about mental illness stigma, medication use, and treatment cost or logistics.

How can families help their child manage mental illness?

·       Consider family counselling that involves everyone.

·       Ask health care professionals to advise on how to address tough behaviour.

·       Learn stress management skills to keep calm.

·       Relax and play with your child (ren).

·       Praise your child's skills.

·       Work with your child's school for support.
