@ACCESSACandC Dr. Mike Robinson: How can parents help children establish and maintain good mental health?
Dr. Shanelle R. Benson Reid: Parents can help children establish and maintain good mental health by doing the following:
1) Creating a village by intentionally placing people in their life to nurture and support them.
2) Allow their children to openly express and understand their feelings and emotions without judgment.
3) Allow their children to get to the end of those experiences. (Sometimes children need to go through the full gamete of emotions to truly understand the experience.
4) Be courageous enough to seek professional assistance.
5) Model the behavior (be able to nurture and support your own mental health).
