There are lots of ways to keep disabled children and young people active – start off by choosing activities your child is interested in and adapt them

You may think that you have little influence on your child, but the truth is parents often underestimate how much influence they have on their children. Studies have shown that even from an early age children develop ideas and attitudes about alcohol.

Parents and carers can play a key role in promoting a responsible attitude to alcohol.
Research shows that children may be protected from the negative effects of drinking if they have strong bonds with

• recognise and praise positive behaviour;
• set healthy examples;
• have accurate knowledge of the negative effects of alcohol.

This book was a project developed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Reference Group on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings (IASC MHPSS RG). The project was supported by global, regional and country based experts from Member Agencies of the IASC MHPSS RG, in addition to parents, caregivers, teachers and children in 104 countries. A global survey was distributed in Arabic, English, Italian, French and Spanish to assess children’s mental health and psychosocial needs during the COVID-19 outbreak.
