As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, focusing on the crisis among our youth, we wanted to share an insightful dialogue between parents navigating this crisis. Michealle and Katherine are two remarkable mothers who are navigating the complexities of the youth mental health crisis exacerbated by the pandemic. In this candid discussion, they shed light on the challenges their families have faced in accessing suitable mental health support and advocate for systemic change. We recognized the significance of initiating this dialogue to reassure parents, guardians, and loved ones that they are not alone in navigating the journey to find optimal care for youth. Listen to the conversation and join the movement to prioritize mental health support for our youth. Let's break the stigma because no one should suffer in silence. https://lnkd.in/eSXXWkq4 . . . #MentalHealthAwareness #YouthMentalHealth #BehavioralHealth

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, and all month long we made it a priority to #UprootTheStigma surrounding mental health care in rural communities across the US. In many of these areas, pride often prevents individuals from seeking the support they need. As this month comes to an end, we know these challenges do not. The goal is to foster an environment where everyone feels comfortable and empowered to prioritize their mental well-being. As Lamont emphasizes in the video, “If you need help, reach out. The most important thing is that people are here. We want you to be here and be well while you are here.” For mental health resources, visit www.ruralminds.org, a nonprofit that aims to end the suffering, silence and stigma around mental illness in rural America.

And what of the mental health of someone who is a 'minority' in the UK right now, in the face of the riots and racism? Someone of the wrong......colour? Wearing the wrong head covering? I have a female colleague and close friend on holiday in Cornwall, who was with her young nieces, when a man approached them this week and shouted f***ing P*k*s. I am reeling from hearing this. What of HER mental wellbeing, living now with the shock and the enduring fear??? What of the mental state of her young nieces??? Disintegrating societies are disintegrating communities of minds. The implications are huge on so many levels. I really do hesitate to use this as an opportunity to 'sell', but at Healthy Brains Global Initiative (HBGI) (and in the world of 'outcomes contracting' generally) we endeavour to use a contracting model and we manage program performance in a way that puts the individual at the heart of the service. We embed respect for each and every person, in order to maximise outcomes. Services that DON'T do this - as a result of the way they are funded or (mis)managed, because "that's just the way we do things round here" - fail too many individuals and are ultimately complicit in our social fragmentation. How dare we accept the status quo as satisfactory. Whether that's contracting (because it's obviously my obsession) or failure in education or rabid 'newspapers' or unfettered social media or power-seeking politicians. Is there any point apologising to my friend and her family on behalf of us all?
July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, a critical opportunity to bring awareness to the unique mental health struggles that minority communities face across the globe. To adequately address these struggles, we need to build mental health solutions that prioritize the outcomes that matter to minority communities and are informed by their unique experiences. From our engagement with mothers in Limpopo, South Africa to our work in California with people experiencing homelessness and serious mental illness (SMI), HBGI strives to promote this across the programs we support. #MinorityMentalHealth

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a vital time to recognize the importance of mental health in our lives and communities. NAHSE supports the movement to end stigma, extend support, and advocate for policies prioritizing mental well-being. According to NAMI, 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness yearly, with significant impacts on youth as well. Black Americans face unique challenges, including systemic barriers to care and higher rates of serious mental health issues. As health services executives, we must lead by example, advocating for mental health awareness and support. Let’s use this month to educate, inspire, and promote mental well-being for all. Together, we can make a difference. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #NAHSEIndy #EndTheStigma #SupportMentalHealth #CommunityCare

Hola Todxs!! Did you know that advocating for your mental health isn't just a personal journey but a powerful act of self-love and community upliftment? 💚 Here's why: Breaking Stigmas: By speaking out about your mental health, you challenge stereotypes and break down barriers, fostering a more compassionate and understanding community. Community Connection: Sharing your experiences creates a sense of belonging. You're not alone, and your story may inspire others to seek support or share their journey. Destigmatizing Latinx Mental Health: Latinx Talk Therapy is on a mission to destigmatize mental health within our community. Your advocacy contributes to this movement, paving the way for open conversations and acceptance. Empowering Others: Your voice is a catalyst for change. When you advocate for your mental health, you empower others to do the same, fostering a culture of well-being and resilience. Let's continue advocating, uplifting, and building a community where mental health is a priority! Please share your story, support one another, and let's thrive together! 💚🌟 #LatinxTalkTherapy #MentalHealthAdvocacy #BreakTheStigma #CommunityWellbeing
