Time for Kids: Keys to Health
SSM Health & News 3 Now
How Families & Kids Can Unlock a Healthier World Together
SSM Health and News 3 Now are partners in Time for Kids: Keys to Health, a community campaign designed to address the community health issues that impact our kids’ health in very direct ways. Throughout the year, we’re sharing stories, tips and more to empower kids, and adults to get involved in the health of their families, neighbors, and entire communities.
Mental Health is Key to Creating a Healthy Community.
Understanding the Whole Person
Good mental health is just as important as having access to a clean environment and healthy food.
Communities prosper when the mental health needs of all community members are met.
As part of the Time for Kids: Keys to Health campaign, SSM Health is focused on helping children develop good mental health that allows them to think clearly, develop socially and learn new skills.
Building healthy connections with peers and adults is important for helping children develop self-confidence, self-esteem and a healthy emotional outlook on life.
Mental health issues in our communities are complex and challenging; but, by working together to increase understanding and raise awareness, we can make a difference and take Time for Kids.

Understanding Emotions Activity Book
Kids experience a range of emotions and can have a hard time expressing how they feel. We hope these books help you find time to talk together about different emotions and healthy ways to manage those emotions.
