🌟 It’s Children’s Mental Health Week! Let’s empower our little ones by giving them a voice. Here are 3 simple ways: 1. Active Listening: Take time to truly hear what they have to say without judgment. It makes them feel valued and understood. 2. 🎨 Express Yourself: Have fun drawing, writing, or making things! It’s like talking, but with colors and shapes. Let your imagination go wild! 🌈 3. Promote Open Communication: Create a safe space for them to share thoughts and feelings. Regular check-ins help build trust. Let’s paint a brighter world for our little ones! 🌟 Embracing creativity, listening with love, and building a space where every voice matters. Join the journey of #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek - because every child deserves a canvas of kindness and understanding. 💙🎨 #GiveAVoice

This was a wonderful and encouraging conversation. There are so many incredible people starting conversations and focusing on effective action! The key takeaways are that 1) the way this will get better will be through community and networks, 2) a lot has changed in the last 5 years for the better, 3) we still have a long way to go, and 4) the more value we put on the people doing incredible work, the more the whole world will benefit. What’s your takeaway???? Join the conversation.

As our expertise in young men’s mental health at The Good Side has developed over the years, we have had a lot of time to think about best practice when conducting research in this area. We have developed a few guiding principles that we are taking into how we continue to approach this topic, in our new series about meeting young men where they are. Keep an eye out for more in the coming weeks! 🧠 #research #insights #methodology #bestpractice
