Xinhua news agency, beijing, 1 june (journalist li xing), “the physical and mental health of children is not only healthy, but also healthy psychologically”. The director of the national centre for childhood medicine and director of the beijing children's hospital of the university of medical sciences of the capital stated earlier that it was important for parents to increase their knowledge of child mental health and to improve their ability to recognize the child's mental health. Experts have pointed to the importance of mental health education for children in society and the strengthening of early intervention in children's mental illness。
What should be noted for the families of children who have already experienced psychological problems or even mental illness? Nisheng explained that the warmth and harmony of a family can play a key role in the prevention and intervention of children's mental illness. The first is for parents to receive regular training and guidance from professionals to learn and acquire skills in child mental health-related interventions; the second is for family members to maintain family harmony and create a warm and safe family environment for children; and the third is for parents to take care of their children。
The expert called for a shared focus on the mental health of children in society, exploring the establishment of a system of family mental health services, advocacy for family mental health information, awareness-raising, promotion of training, improvement of the mental health of children and provision of a healthy development environment for children。
In recent years, we have taken a series of measures to continuously improve mental health education for children and to strengthen early intervention. It was stated that the next step would be to accelerate the development of a workforce and promote the development of a child's mental health system, including a “integrated” approach from the family, school to health-care institutions, and the concept of each parent as the first responsible person for the health of children。
