MENTAL HEALTH & PARENTS
TAUGHT BY LAUREN WILSON & SPEAK OUT TEAM
DURATION: 2 HOURS
FORMAT: LECTURE, ROLE PLAY & CRISIS PLANNING & PREVENTION
Supporting a child's mental well-being can be one of the most rewarding, yet challenging, aspects of parenting. Children can experience a range of mental health difficulties, and knowing how to help them navigate these challenges—especially when suicide can be a risk even as young as eight years old—can feel overwhelming. This training is designed to provide parents and caregivers with the knowledge and practical tools needed to understand and support their child's mental health journey. We will explore various mental health concerns that can affect children, offering insights into recognizing their unique experiences and responding with empathy and effectiveness.
Our goal is that you leave this training feeling encouraged, supported, and equipped, not alone in this journey. We will provide practical strategies for helping your child manage their mental health, build resilience, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. This training is a safe space to learn, share, and connect with others who understand the unique challenges of raising a child while prioritizing their mental wellness. We believe that with the right tools and support, children can learn to navigate their mental health and thrive.
