Everyone should know how to manage their mental health. But generally it’s not something we’re taught to do it. It’s common knowledge that when you break a bone it needs time to heal. But what about an emotional break? Does your teen realize that they need to protect their mental health just as much as they do their physical health?

In this episode we discuss…

Why it’s important to be aware of your mental health
How poor mental health can affect your relationships
How to be an example of positive mental health for you teen
How to encourage your teen to communicate
Why you need to validate your teen’s feelings and experiences
Remembering to praise your teen for what they are doing right
Why you need to regularly “check-in” with your teen
Why it’s important to listen to your body
Why you need a mental health toolkit
When it’s time to ask for help

Understanding how to support your teen’s mental health can result in helping them manage their emotional well-being, build strong relationships, adapt to change, and deal with life’s challenges.

My name is Simone, and I'm addicted to sharing! On this blog, I share recipes, shopping tips, relationship and parenting advice, a joke, an opinion and just about everything in between. In between sharing, I run an integrated marketing agency where my love of details and straight lines are put to good use. But my most important job is being a wife and mother to a teenaged daughter who still seems to like me—for now anyway.
