Mental health problems in children and teens is not usually something that surface overnight.
There may or may not be a one trigger, such as a passing or a negative social experience, that starts the negative spiral. But symptoms generally build up gradually until the child reaches a stage where they really need help and support.
Our mental health workshops also include positive thinking strategies which can benefit all children and young people. Everyone will experience tough times during their school journey, having positive thinking training can be a very valuable preventative resource.
​
Some of the strategies that child mental health workshops introduce are regular exercise; healthy sleeping patterns; relaxation and breathing skills; adopting a ‘can do’ attitude; drawing on social support and making time for personal interests. Students will also be introduced to coping skills for dealing with anger, anxiety and stress.
