A national movement to promote children’s mental wellness and prevent crises
Because kids don’t always wear their thoughts on their sleeves, it can be difficult to tell when a child is struggling.
Created by behavioral health experts, these tools provide education and action-oriented strategies to start conversations and boost mental wellness in children during your everyday life.
These materials are helpful to parents, guardians and family members, but can be used by anyone.
You’ll find many useful how-to guides on the national On Our Sleeves website. Select from topics like How to Deal with Stress, How to Help Kids Manage Boredom, How to Support Mental Health Needs for Kids, and many more.
Get tips and easy-to-use tools delivered straight to your inbox each month. These resources help start conversations with and boost mental wellness in children of all ages.
We all know sleep is important, but do you know how it impacts both physical and mental health? Lack of sleep can lead to reduced coping skills, acting out, and feeling stressed or worried. Getting more sleep will benefit mental health, improve concentration and boost physical health. Help your child fall asleep and stay asleep with these resources. Download the My Bedtime Routine Checklist (also in Spanish) and Bedtime Ticket (also in Spanish) to fill out together.
Learn how to recognize when children and adolescents are experiencing a mental health challenge or are in crisis, and how you can help them. This class is designed for parents, family, educators and other adults who interact with kids.
Your donation or fundraiser can strengthen our efforts to prevent mental health issues in children, adolescents and teens in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.
