Given that our mental health is related to every other component of our health, including our emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual health, it is critical for everyone to make mental health a priority in their lives. Having children of my own, I know how important it is for them to focus on their mental and emotional health and well-being. I want to provide practical tools, which are rooted in research, to help both children and adults build a foundation of strength and resilience to address mental health needs and live more meaningful lives.
