Amelia and Jack's Story
Many parents and carers are concerned about their children and young people’s mental health because they know it’s one of the biggest influences on their ‘success’ in adulthood. Having a healthy approach to managing their mental health will set the foundations for lifelong good mental health.
Charlie contacted LOHA because she was concerned about mental health problems in teenagers generally and wanted to know what to do to reduce the risk of poor mental health for her children 13-year-old Amelia and 10-year-old Jack.
The majority of mental health problems can be prevented by assisting children and young people to learn about how to recognise their their feelings and thoughts, and understand how they can respond to them.
Charlie subscribed to LOHA to find out how best to support her children using the Systemic Therapy activities.
