This leaflet has been designed to help you understand a little bit more about mental health and wellbeing, and how you can support your child with theirs, while also looking after yourself. It can be hard being a child or young person dealing with everyday life and coping with all the different - and sometimes difficult - emotions, pressure, and stress that it brings. This can also be difficult for you as a parent and can cause a lot of worry and stress when thinking about how to support your child. This leaflet offers advice on how to support your child through life’s challenges and how to respond when you are worried that they are experiencing poor mental health.
