World Mental Health Day – 10th October

A third of Australian parents mistakenly believe that their children’s mental health problems might be best left alone. However, we know from research that mental health problems should be dealt with early, before a problem becomes embedded and difficult to treat. Warning signs that may be worth a chat with a professional include changes in behaviour that are particularly tense and go on for more than a few weeks and if your child is struggling to cope with everyday life at home or school.
