There are many children who show signs that are associated with a mental health condition, such as anxiety and depression, but are not formally diagnosed. There are many factors that influence children’s enjoyment of their lives. Some are within each child, such as their personality and their level of resilience. Other factors that influence children’s mental health include where they live, who they live with and the relationships they have with others. In addition, there are global influences, such as the geographical location and political situation of a country, as well as health-related global events such as a pandemic. While the context of children’s lives undoubtedly contributes to their sense of wellbeing, this ebook highlights that there is much that can be done within society to improve children’s sense of wellbeing and prevent poor mental health.

After reading this ebook, you should be able to: understand the influences on mental health in young children age 0–5; identify the factors that contribute to good mental health in children; explore national and global influences on children’s mental health; develop knowledge about strategies and interventions to improve mental health in children; and examine how adults and society can support children’s mental health and wellbeing.
