Good Mental Health for Kids and Teens

This handout is an educational resource that shows young people what mental health means and how to care for it. It encourages them to practice positive tips that boost overall wellness, such as being kind to others and noticing the good things in life.

In addition, kids and teens can spend 5 minutes going through a simple mental health checklist on the handout. Parents, teachers, social workers, and mental health professionals may use this as part of their mental health conversations or as a tool to motivate young people to implement positive habits.
