Today's children realize that life isn't always easy. Pressure to win, to be liked, to get along with your family, or to do well in school may cause a young person to experience stress. Some stress and anxiety is normal. But feelings of worthlessness, extreme sadness, or hopelessness may be warning signs of a mental health problem.
The Kids on the Block Program on Children's Mental Health, developed with the support of the National Mental Health Association, addresses the importance of every child's mental health. The curriculum is designed to explain and define mental health, identify various symptoms of mental health problems, teach children to understand feelings, provide children with an introduction to problem solving skills, and encourage them to talk with trusted adults. This curriculum also addresses two specific conditions, depression and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
The complete curriculum consists of large hand-crafted puppets, five
scripts, props,
follow-up
activities and resources to teach children about mental health and
relevant issues.
