Summer is in full swing, and many children have a little more time on their hands now they are not in school. Their time may be spent outside or online. We wanted to take the time to remind you of the dangers around us all and how you can educate your child to keep them safe. The July Mental Health Newsletter addresses the importance of safety, especially teaching your child about “stranger danger,” online safely and making emergency preparedness plans. Please take a minute to review and implement some basic guidelines that will help keep your family safe as they enjoy the warm summer months. Also, check out over 50 therapist-led courses on ParentGuidance.org where you can learn more about the mental health needs of your child and yourself.
