Our prevention partners at SAMHSA - the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration - remind us of how important it is to check in with each other, especially with the young people in our lives.
We know that youth today face very real pressures. Support from those around them can make all the difference. Parents & caregivers, encourage the young ones in your life and let them know that it's okay to talk about stress, emotions, and mental health.🧠
Here's a few simple ways to start:
Check in and ask how they are really doing 💭
Plan some screen-free family time 📵
Talk about healthy ways to cope 💡
The conversation you start today could be the support they need tomorrow - let them know you care and encourage them to communicate! 💬💜
