Health and wellness are core necessities to wellbeing. It's important to have access to good information on children's mental health or a mental illness. Then you can make the best decisions for you and your child. 

Mental health issues can affect the way children learn, act and handle their emotions. This can impact their life at home, school and more. When children receive the support they deserve, the brighter their future will be. 

If you need ideas to improve your child's health and wellness, talk with your healthcare provider. Ask for advice from healthy supporters or use reputable internet sources. Remember, there is hope wherever you are.
