Elementary School Mental Health Education Lecture93


Good morning, everyone. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I am here today to talk to you about mental health. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it is important to take care of both your mind and your body. Many children and adolescents struggle with mental health issues but feel uncomfortable seeking help. This is why it is important to have open and honest conversations about mental health.

There are many different types of mental health problems, and they can affect people of all ages. Some of the most common mental health problems in children and adolescents include:
Anxiety disorders
Depression
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Conduct disorder
Eating disorders
Substance abuse

These are just a few of the many different types of mental health problems that can affect children and adolescents. It is important to remember that mental health problems are not a sign of weakness or failure. They are real and treatable conditions, and there is no shame in seeking help.

If you are struggling with a mental health problem, there are many things you can do to get help. You can talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent, teacher, or counselor. You can also call a mental health hotline or visit a mental health website. There are many resources available to help you cope with mental health problems, and you are not alone.

In addition to seeking professional help, there are many things you can do on your own to improve your mental health. Here are a few tips:
Get enough sleep.
Eat a healthy diet.
Exercise regularly.
Spend time with friends and family.
Do activities that you enjoy.
