May Mental Health Awareness
Mental Health Fitness
About the Campaign
On the eve of the Paris Olympics, world-class athletes join us for the Mental Health Fitness campaign to acknowledge the importance of prioritizing mental as well as physical well-being. In a series of personal videos and interviews, they share how they’ve been able to face their own mental health challenges — and provide pointers on how to combine fitness with core mental health skill-building techniques. One crucial message: Asking for support when you need it is a key part of maintaining your #MentalHealthFitness.

Helping kids build mental health skills is as important as making sure they are physically fit. Our tip sheets offer ways to cultivate skills that nurture emotional well-being in children so they develop into strong, confident adults.
For Elementary School Kids
Learning how to notice, label, and express their feelings helps children be able to manage their emotions in appropriate ways.
For Middle School Kids
Middle schoolers need to know it’s okay to feel all emotions, including those that are uncomfortable, then learn skills to help handle them.
For High School Kids
Adolescence is an exciting time that also comes with confusing and big emotions. These tips will help teens to feel more in control and make better choices.
