We’ve developed a number of mental health resources for use by both parents and mental health professionals. These resources will teach children the basics of cognitive psychology and give them the skills to better cope with adversity. We teach kids how to read, write, and ride a bike. Yet most children grow up without being taught much of anything about how to maintain a healthy mind. Don’t leave your child’s mental health to chance. Take advantage of these free resources and start building stronger, more resilient children today.
