To ask how to talk about mental health with kids

[DragonMummy1418]

Does anyone have any good advice on how to talk to kids about mental health?

I want it to be an open and approachable topic as mental health issues do run through our family.

Thanks!

We have this book which was really helpful as a starting point with ds

I think just having an open environment where children know they can talk about anything is a good start

I always just talk to my kids about any subject the same as I would talk to anyone. Start the conversation, let them ask questions.

Thanks I've been looking for something like this

Sirzy, thanks for that link, I'll have a look!
