The past two weeks have been challenging for many across our state. Our goal at SCIMHA is to help caregivers and those working children navigate the emotions and mental well-being of the children in their lives. Our Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Specialists put together this helpful guide on how to de-code what your child's behaviors after a natural disaster might be telling you. Check it out on SCIMHA’s blog using this link: https://lnkd.in/eFgkRCxY

🌱✨ Navigating change, loss, and grief is one of life’s most challenging journeys. In these moments, the power of meaningful connections and relationships becomes even more evident. It’s through our connections that we find support, understanding, and a sense of belonging. When we face difficult transitions, it’s essential to lean on those who uplift us, share in our experiences, and help us find light in the darkness. These relationships are not just a source of comfort; they are vital for our growth and resilience. That’s where programs like Seasons for Growth come into play. 🌼 This incredible program provides a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions, share their stories, and connect with others who are navigating similar challenges. By fostering these meaningful relationships, Seasons for Growth empowers participants to embrace change and loss as opportunities for personal development and healing. As we journey through life’s seasons, let’s remember the importance of building and nurturing our connections. Together, we can weather any storm and emerge stronger, more compassionate, and more resilient. ❤️ #Connection #Growth #Grief #SeasonsForGrowth #Resilience #Support #Community

"I would not be who I am today without the services that CCS has offered because it has been a spot for me to mitigate my stressors and reflect upon myself." I am more than ecstatic to help raise awareness with Christine Kiray for Butler's Counseling and Consultation Services (CCS) and the great services offered. In my experience, strengthening my mental health through therapy has greatly improved my ability to perform both academically and professionally. The services have helped me become resilient to my stressors while creating a healthy environment of reflection allowing me to perform to the best of my abilities in my daily life. I am being candid when I state: "If you have a lot of external stressors in your life, come to CCS/therapy. If your life is going smoothly and great, come to CCS/therapy". This message is not just for Butler students, but for everybody this post reaches. I am a firm believer that, if mental health resources are accessible, every person should utilize them. YOU can help kick the stigma and start the conversation. I challenge you to have a conversation about mental health with somebody this week. It could be a coworker, a friend, a colleague, or a family member. You may be surprised by what conversations or discussions may arise. If you have questions about CCS or would like to have a conversation about mental health, send me a message and I am more than happy to share my perspective further. You can find more information about my conversation with Christine Kiray at https://bit.ly/3Tq4Hnv.

At Cyti Psychological, we understand the importance of mental health awareness in schools. 😍 The recent article discusses how an island high school organized a mental health day to prioritize the well-being of its students. This proactive approach not only promotes mental wellness but also destigmatizes seeking help for mental health issues. #MentalHealth #SchoolWellness #IslandLife #StudentSupport #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalWellness, #CommunityCare #StudentWellbeing #HighSchool https://vist.ly/3bmzc

Love listening to my colleagues at The Jed Foundation (JED) share our work on such an important topic: Beyond Stigma: Mental Health Help-Seeking Behaviors in Teens. Thank you Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children's Mental Health for your partnership in this work! Looking forward to learning from about Kamla Modi, Ph.D., Michelle G. Mullen, PhD, and John MacPhee about important findings from JED's new research, including top concerns holding teens back from asking for help, where teens turn for support and what they really want when reaching out for help, and how parents and other adults can better enable teens to talk about their mental health.
