A Parent’s Guide to Supporting Children’s Mental Health and Wellbeing

Children’s mental health is becoming an increasing concern, especially during this pandemic. A 2018 report by the Welsh Assembly stated it is estimated that three children in every average-size classroom will have a mental health problem. There are many children who show signs of anxiety and depression, but are not formally diagnosed. Come along and find out some practical things that will help you recognise signs and build their emotional resilience.

This webinar will focus on importance of play to develop emotions, delivered by one of the Open University’s Educational Psychologists who specialises on child-directed play, creativity and active listening with children. You will gain some invaluable knowledge and activities to take away, including UNICEF (2020) six ways that parents/guardians can support children.

Who should attend:  Parents/guardians of children from a young age upward, or who have children who find it challenging to express themselves.
