Supporting Children’s Mental and Emotional Health for Better World

Abstract

In today’s fast paced world, children face many challenges that put their mental and emotional health at  risk, including abuse, carelessness and financial difficulties which will also affect them later in life. We present this paper because we believe that ensuring the mental and emotional well-being of children is essential to safeguard their overall health and future potential. This paper reviews how we can support children’s mental and emotional health by overcoming barriers such as social judgements, insufficient  resources and weak support from society. This paper also focusses on addressing the unique mental and emotional health needs of children by combining mental health support along with child protection  activities.  It will also discuss the innovative solutions, including community-based mental health programs, the use of technology for early detection and the importance of promoting strong family and caregiver  support systems. A key part of the discussion is importance of partnerships among governments, NGO’s, mental health professionals and schools working together to build a stronger support system. By  highlighting collaborative and sustainable approaches, this presentation aims to inspire new strategies that prioritize children’s mental and emotional well-being, ensuring a safer and healthier future for all.
