How to Talk to Your Child About Mental Health
Starting a conversation with your child about their mental health can feel challenging. Unlike physical health issues—such as allergies, asthma, or diabetes—mental health can carry stigma, involve less familiar information, and bring up fears of judgment or blame.
However, open and supportive communication is key. When you create a safe space for your child to share how they’re feeling, you help reduce shame and show them it’s okay to ask for help. Talking openly about emotions and mental well-being is just as important as addressing physical health concerns.
