Family Guide to Supporting Young People’s Mental Health and Well-Being
INFORMATION, TIPS, AND RESOURCES
Over the last few years, the mental health crisis impacting young people has steadily intensified. However, families, schools, and community partners can work together to support young people’s mental health and well-being. Schools and other education organizations can provide personal support, resources, and information to students—and their parents or other caregivers—to help with at-home strategies to support their children.
The purpose of this guide is to provide parents and other caregivers with information and easy-to-use strategies to support their children’s overall well-being and mental health. The guide also includes warning signs to look for in children and teens, tips for talking to them about their mental health, and resources forgetting help.
A Resource for Families, Teachers and the Community
Check out this amazing resource guide, compiled by the Siskiyou County Office of Education, based on the results of the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS). It is full of wonderful tools and tips to support students with physical, mental and emotional health. The guide is based around the 40 Developmental Assests, prosocial strengths and competencies that support humans to find success and fulfillment in their relationships, areas of interest, and self-esteem. The categories of the 40 Developmental Assets, presented by The Search Institute, are:
Support
Empowerment
Boundaries and Expectations
Constructive Use of Time
Commitment to Learning
Positive Values
Social Competencies
Positive Identity
Through cultivation and practice of these assets, students, families and educators will be better able to rise to the challenges presented to our youth today and stay connected with community and personal resources that uplift them and help them thrive!
