In August, DLC’s focus topic is on Children’s Mental Health. Mental health is an essential part of children’s overall wellbeing, and it has a complex interactive relationship with their physical health and their ability to succeed in school, at work, and in society. It is important to treat a child’s mental health just like we do their physical health, by giving it thought and attention and, when needed, professional help. This month, we are sharing resources and tips for Children’s Mental Health as well as featured opportunities to support this topic within the community.
