It is crucial for parents and carers to be aware of the signs and symptoms that may indicate their child is experiencing mental health difficulties. By recognising these signs early on, you can provide the necessary support and guidance for your child's emotional wellbeing.

Look out for changes in behaviour, such as irritability, withdrawal, or excessive worry.
Pay attention to any significant changes in sleep patterns or appetite.
Notice if your child appears to be struggling with their schoolwork or has a decreased interest in activities they used to enjoy.
Keep an eye on any physical complaints (such as headaches or stomach aches) that may be related to emotional distress.
