Mental health resources and useful organisations to support
To promote and support mental health and wellbeing
Help for Early Years Providers has added new information and guidance on supporting babies and young children with their mental health.
We all have mental health, just as we have physical health. In the same way that we can be more or less physically healthy from time to time, we can also be more or less mentally healthy from time to time too.
The guidance:
- Explains how practitioners can support positive mental health in early years children
- Includes emotional and behavioural support strategies to use in early years settings
- Links to further reading and resources
Early years children sometimes experience a range of difficulties including anxiety, difficulties sharing and tantrums. The Anna Freud centre provides some useful resources on how to support young children.
