Summer vacation is coming to an end. While some children are looking forward to the resumption of school, others are prone to mental upheaval, such as feeling great pressure and stress.
Nationwide, most child suicides occur in August and September, so it is especially important for adults close to the child to pay close attention to the child's daily activities around the end of summer vacation.
If you notice seemingly minor changes, such as insomnia or loss of appetite, ask, "What's wrong ？?" and listen carefully to what the child has to say. For more information on how to deal with children and specific know-how, please refer to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare website "For Families" below.
Also, if necessary, please check the following city website "Consultation Service for Troubleshooting" to connect you to a specialized agency or to watch over your child.
