What is preventive mental health for children?
Children experience different psychological struggles as they pass through different developmental stages. The most common challenges are anxiety, attention issues, anger and depressive mood. Our series of three workshops aim to provide education and guidance to children, equipping them with effective strategies to manage those challenges.
