Blossoms of Hope’s Post

I'm excited to attend the Mental Health America Conference this year! I'll be in Washington DC from September 18th to September 21st. I hope the workshops I attend can help me better serve the communities I work with and also pick up some tools and tips for my own mental health journey. I really like this year's theme, "Disrupt, Reform, and Transform." I hope to apply these principles to deal with past childhood trauma, current trauma, and other challenges like bad habits that I need to overcome. #mentalhealthamericaconference2024 #mentalhealthjourney #Transform

At the heart of everything Bounce Forward does is empowering ALL young people to be the very best they can be. Communication, having a voice is central. Things that can get in the way include: > Not understanding myself and my reactions > Lack of self awareness meaning I cannot express myself in a way that others can understand > Negative self-talk that says 'what I have to say is not valued > Relying on inaccurate beliefs about what is possible > Lack of hope and optimism about the future Building psychological fitness, that is mental resilience and emotional wellbeing, is inclusive of all our differences, and seeing those differences as a strength. Skills create the confidence and competence to navigate even the most difficult of situations, and then the magic can begin. Our world has changed like never before. Health, economy, social structures and education are all playing catch up after a global pandemic, political turmoil and an economy that is unstable. The pace and scale of technological change is getting faster and our ability to absorb and define our worlds is more complex than ever before. For adults this is difficult to navigate, for children even greater. We must act now and help them build life-long psychological skills.

Canadian Mental Health Week is here and what better way to kick it off than by taking time for yourself? I started the week early by doing something I had not prioritized in a couple years - spending time on my own doing art. In the past few years, my home art studio has turned into my office and study room. So, it was a great feeling to take some time out to indulge in something I once loved doing. We often forget to prioritize our mental health, and this year’s MH week theme is #compassion… that includes self-compassion. What are some things YOU can do to take care of your mental health this week? #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #SelfCare #MentalHealth #CompassionConnects
