1/5 Today, as part of #MentalHealthWeek, the focus is on children and youth who, like adults, have lots of questions about #COVID19, and are missing their friends, family members and regular routines #CYMH #ApartNotAlone #COVIDCoping
2/5 Parents & caregivers can find tips on communicating & sharing information on #COVID19 with kids and teens and how to calm fears, practise online safety and engage in activities that nurture mental & emotional health. kidshelpphone.ca/get-involved/p… #CYMH
3/5 Talking things out can help to process our thoughts and lift the weight of our emotions. When you start the conversation and share your own thoughts & feelings, it helps children & youth to open up and voice their own struggles. #StrongerTogether #GetReal
4/5 Children and youth have been helping us all get through #COVID19 with creativity and ingenuity. They have adorned windows with🌈signs and supportive messages for neighbours, friends and essential workers. #WeWillGetThroughThis
5/5 Children and youth have also created virtual choirs, and used their #STEM skills to develop Apps and #COVID19 data trackers. Reinforcing positive energy helps to build resilience, not just for youth, but for all of us! #StrongerTogether
