December Mental Health Newsletter
In today's world, recognizing the significance of mental health is playing in the lives of our children is important. Parents hold a crucial role in shaping their children's views and behaviors around well-being. The phrase "Erase The Stigma” is a call to action, emphasizing the need to break down the barriers surrounding mental health and the role parents play. Let’s explore the importance of parents taking the lead in erasing the stigma surrounding mental health and fostering awareness in their children.
Join us and start by reading this December's Mental Health Newsletter (English/Spanish). As always, check out the ParentGuidance.org resources where you can access free courses led by licensed therapists on more than 50 topics. Check out the course titled, Connect with Your Child by Parenting with Purpose. To access the course, simply navigate to ParentGuidance.org and click on-demand courses.
