KID INSIGHT - Wellness Matters: How kids TV can normalize mental health journeys

Envision a society that proactively addresses the youth mental health crisis, rather than merely reacting to it. Where psychological wellbeing is just as prioritized and destigmatized as physical wellbeing. Nickelodeon Consumer Insights is presenting the results of an important new study at Kidscreen Summit that explores effective and practical mental wellness strategies for children, regardless of their current state of psychological health.

This unique research consults mental health professionals, children and their families to gain a comprehensive understanding of needs and best practices from those who are closest to the battle for stronger minds. The NCI team will share key insights on how to authentically show children caring for their mental health on screen in everyday moments in order to normalize these audience experiences and model useful tools and strategies for not just coping, but thriving.
