Nova TV has launched a new awareness campaign, Let’s Talk Together (Mluvme spolu) via its Nova Helps platform. It focuses on the mental health of children and parents and highlights the importance of looking after adults’ mental wellbeing as a key factor in supporting children’s mental health.
The campaign is the first in-house initiative of the ‘Nova pomáhá’ project, which has long been dedicated to supporting children in need and collaborates with non-profit organisations. The new project aims to open up a debate on parental burnout, parents’ mental wellbeing, and ways to look after themselves and their loved ones.
“When we talk about children’s mental health, we mustn’t forget their parents. They are often the first source of support for their children, yet they themselves may be tired, overwhelmed or feel that they have to manage everything,” said Anna Ševerová, CSR manager at TV Nova.
Part of the campaign is the podcast Let’s Talk Together: How Not to Go Mad, in which presenter Kristina Kloubková speaks with psychotherapist and couples therapist Jan Vojtek. Topics include, amongst others, fatigue, setting boundaries, recognising one’s own emotions, the body’s signals and feelings of failure.
The main episode is followed by a bonus episode focusing on relationships and family dynamics. It addresses, for example, the balance between time spent together and time spent alone as a couple, and how children experience their parents’ separation.
The campaign is complemented by a dedicated website offering free resources such a the Ten Commandments of Self-Care and Tips on how to recharge your batteries during the day. Visitors will also find contact details for professional support, including the ‘Parenting Helpline’ run by Linka bezpečí.
The ‘Let’s Talk Together’ campaign will utilise TV adverts, online communication and accompanying content with the aim of raising awareness of the importance of mental health within families.
