🌍 On World Infant, Child, and Adolescent Mental Health Day, ACTG reflects on the vital role of mental health in the growth and development of our youngest generations. This day highlights the need for early intervention and support services for children and young people. Mental well-being is fundamental to overall health, particularly through the formative years of infancy, childhood, and adolescence. ACTG is honoured to provide services that respect and nurture this significant period, aiming to build resilience and a foundation for lifelong happiness in our children and adolescents. As we observe this meaningful day, we focus on elevating the dialogue about mental health, dismantling stigma, and recognising the power of mental health services. #ACTG #MentalHealth #HealingHopeChange

Creating awareness for children is crucial as children's mental health matters! Here are three importance of creating mental health awareness for children: 1.Early Intervention: Identifying mental health issues early can lead to timely interventions, reducing the risk of long-term effects. 2.Breaking Stigma: Open conversations and education can help break the stigma surrounding mental health, encouraging children to speak up and seek help. 3.Building Resilience: Teaching children healthy coping mechanisms and self-care strategies can help them develop resilience, navigating life's challenges with confidence.

As someone who has established and operated children's psychiatric hospitals, I've witnessed firsthand the critical importance of addressing mental health needs in youth. Failing to provide adequate support can lead to chronic mental health challenges in adulthood. It's clear that we need to prioritize mental health resources for our youth. By investing in programs and resources for mental health support, we can significantly improve the well-being of future generations. Let's work together as a community to develop and expand these vital resources. #NationalChildrensMentalHealth #MentalHealthIsHealth #EndTheStigma #OkayToSay #AthraSystems

According to the Mental Health Foundation, around one in four people in the UK experience mental health problems every year.   Being a parent is extremely rewarding, but it can also be incredibly challenging.   When the mental health of a parent is compromised, it can significantly impact their ability to provide care and support for their children. This means prioritizing parental mental health is crucial, because healthy parents raise healthy children.   Concise Medico supports the cause of developing effective interventions through extensive research into parental mental health in the UK.   It is okay to not be okay.   #ParentalMentalHealth #SelfCare #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCareMatters #BreakTheStigma #BeKindToYourself
