And it’s a challenge for everyone

How are different communities’ mental and emotional wellness needs different?  Our health is influenced by five main factors: genetics, behavior, environmental and physical influences, healthcare, and social factors. Issues relating to equity—race, education level, income, etc.) contribute to the social factor of health, (also often referred to as SES social determinants of health). Childhood enrichment and parents’ involvement boosts education, education determines career, and career determines community and what resources a person has at their disposal.

Parents’ quality of life is affected by their children’s mental and emotional wellness, and vice versa. When one family member struggles, everyone feels it.

moods curaJOY

Moods

Our social-emotional development begins the day we’re born and continues throughout adulthood.  Healthy expression of moods involves acknowledging and validating our feelings, communicating them effectively, and seeking appropriate help.

Environments

Children’s families and environments are critical in influencing their social, mental and emotional wellness, but not all families have the financial security and know-how to promote healthy social-emotional skills in their children.
