Whether at home, in school or perhaps an unfamiliar environment, our children's mental well-b​eing could be stressed to unexpected levels - especially in the early years.

McDonald's, in collaboration with Ministry of Social and Family Development and Families for Life in support of the Year of Celebrating SG Families (YCF), is intent on promoting greater awareness amongst parents looking to support their children's mental wellness and helping these children manage the many stressors that affect them.
