National Parents Council Primary has worked in partnership with St Patricks Mental Health Services to develop a programme to support parents to support their young child’s positive mental health at home.

If your pre-school would like to organise this session for parents of children attending your practice you can do so here.

The key elements of this programme for parents are:

• Meeting your child’s needs - how everyday life can impact positively on your child’s mental health
• Coping when things don’t go your way! Helping your child understand and manage their emotions, dealing with challenges
• Developing and nurturing your relationship with your child
• Resilience, how to support your child to build resilience
• Children’s Rights - Giving your child the opportunity to live a mentally healthy life
• Five Ways to Wellbeing

 This programme is developed to empower and give parents information on how they can support their children’s positive mental health through everyday interactions with their child.
