Why Mental Health Topics and Discussions Matter
Openly talking about mental health helps normalize emotions and encourages children to share their feelings without fear or shame. When mental health becomes a natural part of family discussions, children are better equipped to:
- Understand and manage their emotions.
- Build healthy relationships with peers and family members.
- Recognize when they need help and feel comfortable seeking it.
- Develop the skills needed to navigate challenges with confidence.
How to Start the Conversation
Starting a dialogue about mental health can be as simple as creating opportunities for regular, open communication. Here are some tips:
- Use Everyday Moments: Use moments like dinner or car rides to ask open-ended questions about your child’s day and feelings.
- Model Emotional Awareness: Share your own feelings and how you cope with challenges to set an example.
- Focus on Listening: Avoid rushing to solve problems. Instead, listen and validate your child’s emotions.
- Make It Age-Appropriate: Adjust your language and explanations based on your child’s developmental level.
- Use Resources: Rely on tools, worksheets, and activities that make discussing mental health approachable and engaging.

Laughter and Mental Health
Comics bring together humor and storytelling, offering a unique and accessible way to promote mental health through laughter. Their visual and textual combination allows readers to connect with relatable characters, find humor in everyday situations, and escape stressors momentarily. The lighthearted nature of comics can elicit laughter, triggering endorphins that reduce anxiety and elevate mood.
For those struggling with mental health challenges, comics often provide a gentle yet impactful outlet, creating opportunities for reflection, emotional relief, and connection. Whether it’s a quick laugh or a deeper resonance with a comic’s message, this medium serves as a valuable tool in fostering emotional well-being.
Comics are meant to bring out laughter and we all know that laughter is a key ingredient for better mental health!

Mental health in education also includes parents, who are vital partners in helping schools achieve their educational goals. How has the change to online classrooms affected parents and their abilities to cope with their child’s new learning environment?
Parents can support mental health topics in education by being a support system to both their children and their teachers when it comes to overcoming any issues that may arise from challenging situations such as learning online.
In 2020, teaching and learning took a sharp turn when most classrooms were turned into virtual classrooms to keep safe during a global pandemic. Schools worked on offering mental health services for teachers and students, as well as mental health support for parents.
The ETI Academy offers a look at online learning, and how parents and their children can cope mentally and learn to thrive in this new online class environment.
Physical health in education is vital to the health and development of mental health for both teachers and students. Schools, teachers, and students benefit greatly from the value physical education has in our school systems.
The global pandemic of 2020 put a strain on physical education in schools, and it resulted in students showing a lack of motivation towards their studies. We present 5 ways physical health supports mental health, and what teachers can do with assessments and behavior strategies to bring back the motivation students lost for learning.
