Bell Let's Talk is doing a fantastic job promoting mental health and encouraging open conversations. At Roots of Empathy and our sibling program—Seeds of Empathy, we nurture empathic listening and create spaces free of judgment. This allows young children to share their feelings and, from an early age, develop the confidence to talk about how they’re feeling. These early conversations build the foundation for emotional literacy and lifelong mental health and wellbeing 💚 #BellLetsTalk

Love this Laura! Stories are the best way for children to dive in and explore all sorts of personal, social and emotional learning up close but from a safe viewpoint! The more we can support children to proactively build foundational tools for strong mental health through stories the better💛🌱🌍 #childrensmentalhealth #mentalhealth #earlyyears #eyfs #wellbeing #childdevelopment #stories #sel #parents #teachers #schools #storiesforlearning

As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, it's crucial to remember that our actions and attitudes play a significant role in shaping our children's understanding of mental well-being. Our children learn more from what we do than what we say. By modeling good mental health practices, we're not only taking care of ourselves but also teaching our children invaluable life skills. Let's make mental health a priority for ourselves and the next generation. 💚 #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

This #MentalHealthWeek brings attention to our children’s Mental Health Crisis, and its serious impacts, including on learning. Children who are feeling sad, sick, and lonely are not receptive to learning. Roots of Empathy fosters resilience in children, and supports children in learning to regulate their emotions thus freeing them up to learn. As empathy is nurtured in children through the program, children develop prosocial behaviours, associated with the ability to make friends and with positive mental health/emotional wellbeing. Empathy is necessary to build healthy relationships and resilience (Mehrabian, 2000; Jones et al., 2015). Join us in promoting mental health and empathy education in schools: https://lnkd.in/gcK7m4AZ Together, we can make a difference. #EmpathyMatters #EmpathyEducation #MentalHealthAwareness
