With Mental Health Awareness Week running from 18-24 May, there is likely to be a lot of focus on the topic this month. But one area that is often overlooked is the mental wellbeing of children. The building blocks to good mental health start very young, so the earlier we can encourage open conversation around feelings and emotions, the better. But for many parents and teachers, it’s hard to know where to start.
That’s why Trigger Publishing, a leading mental health and wellbeing publisher, have launched a brand-new list of children’s titles called Upside Down Books. This new imprint aims to offer young readers comforting, nurturing, playful and humorous books that also spark thought and conversation around their feelings and emotions. Each book published features a note to parents from clinical psychologist, Lauren Callaghan, who ensures that every title is developmentally accurate and appropriate.
“At Upside Down, we have the opportunity to help children achieve better mental health by identifying their feelings and emotions, while embracing values that are consistent with mental wellbeing,” she tells OM.
With a range of titles that cover topics such as mindfulness, emotions, grief, anxiety and even boredom, the list of books publishing in 2020 offer plenty of choice for parents looking to help their children explore and learn about their own mental health.
