About this service
Handle with Care is a simple interactive program to help parents and caregivers, including those who work in early childhood settings, to promote the mental health of young children from birth to 6 years. Handle with Care is based on a number of important assumptions about mental health:
- Mental health, or social and emotional well-being, is a precious resource for all children.
- Mental health is part of our overall health. Its about:
- How we feel, think, and behave
- How we cope with the ups and downs of everyday life
- How we feel about ourselves and our life
- How we see ourselves and our future
- How stress affects us
- How we deal with negative things that happen in our life
- Our self-esteem or confidence
- Supporting childrens mental health is an everyday aspect of health care, just as we support healthy bodies by ensuring children eat well, exercise and get enough sleep.
