"If we don’t look at it and know what and how to handle it, then we’re not going to win this battle with kids."Goldie helps run the non-profit organization MindUp, which was started in 2003, as a means to help the mental health needs of children.The Oscar-winning actress has remained neutral on the subject of face coverings, however, she thinks parents are equally having difficulty managing the current situation."Whether it's masks, whether it's any of the various things that are going on today in the world, it's very, very scary."I think that what we've got to do is start focusing on our next generation."We have to make our future and have to make our children strong and fit and be able to connect to each other."Throughout the interview, she continued to urge the need for mental health programs in schools to help children better understand this new "invisible enemy".Goldie continued: "The bottom line is MindUP or any of these programs that are mental health are preventative programs should be in schools, not one day a week, every day, should be part of their classroom, part of their learning."Why do we ask kids to learn and don't teach them about their brain?"Goldie's appearance on the show comes after the actress opened up about her own personal experiences with mental health as a child in a USA Today article.In the January publication, she penned: "We all know how magical a child’s imagination can be – the wonderful worlds they create in their minds."But there's a flip side to the joyful creativity that can turn a big cardboard box into a spaceship."A child's mind exposed to real-world fear, without the ability to properly process it, can go down dark passages leading to nothing less than existential dread."Goldie is.
