TULSA, Oklahoma -
The Mental Health Association Oklahoma is working on a fun and engaging way to teach kids about mental health. They hope something good can come from a coloring book.
May is Mental Health Awareness month, so Mental Health Association Oklahoma is using that as an opportunity to teach young kids the importance of expressing their feelings.
In their new coloring book, kids and their parents can take baby steps when starting a conversation about mental health. CEO Terri White said it’s important to destigmatize talking about mental illness. It s an opportunity for that adult in their life to talk to them about what it means to have a healthy brain and it can also be a chance to equip the child with the ability to recognize and communicate their feelings, White said.
