As the school year draws to a close, how can we motivate our children as they receive their exam results, especially those who have gone through or are going though national exams? What is helpful and not helpful when supporting our children in dealing with unmet expectations?
This conversation will discuss what parents can consider in supporting their child in maintaining good mental health and prevent suicide together as a society.
The focus will be on mental health and suicide prevention, and what parents should look out for and reinforce after the release of exam results.
