Emotional Well-Being
Children who are healthy in mind, body, and heart can thrive in every way. Mental health IS health!
Love, Your Mind
Elmo and friends show how humming can help support kids’ emotional well-being in a new Public Service Announcement launched in partnership with the Ad Council for their “Love, Your Mind Today” campaign.
As a caring adult, everything you do helps children build a foundation of emotional well-being. And if you think your child would benefit from more support, there are other caring adults who can help.
