How Do You Prioritize Mental Health?
It’s important to support the mental health of all children—before, during and after challenges arise — and to support parents’ and caregivers’ mental health too!
National PTA has developed the PTA Healthy Minds Program to empower families to make mental health an everyday priority. Check out the resources on this webpage, including informational and activity resources directly for families and resources to help PTAs run PTA Healthy Minds programming.
