Healthy Minds: Prioritizing Mental Health [web resource] [downloadable]

It’s important to support the mental health of all children—before, during and after challenges arise — and to support parents’ and caregivers’ mental health too.

National PTA has developed the PTA Healthy Minds Program to empower families to make mental health an everyday priority. Check out the resources on this webpage, including informational and activity resources directly for families and resources to help PTAs run PTA Healthy Minds programming.

The PTA Healthy Minds Program tools are designed to increase families’ knowledge, skills and confidence about mental health and encourage open discussions about mental health. Learn strategies to strengthen and prioritize mental health in your daily life, and gain insight into the signs that someone is struggling emotionally and what you can do to help.

You may want to begin by exploring these topics:

• Social Emotional Learning
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Loneliness and Isolation
• Grief, Loss & Resiliency
• Partner Resources

Resources are also available for PTA leaders.
