Unlocking the Truth: COVID Lockdowns and Adolescent Mental Health Curious about the impact of COVID lockdowns on adolescent mental health? We've got some intriguing findings to share with you! Recent Australian research suggests that it's not the length of the lockdowns that are linked to a decline in mental health among adolescents. Instead, it's the negative perceived impact that plays a crucial role. So, what does this mean? It emphasises the significance of supporting our young ones, not just through the challenges themselves, but by helping them navigate the way they perceive and process these experiences. Let's focus on building resilience, fostering open conversations, and creating a safe space for adolescents to express their feelings. Our goal is to help them develop coping strategies that empower them to face challenges head-on. #SouthAustraliaPsychology #AdelaideCounselling #PsychologistAdelaide #AdelaideMentalWellness #Mindfulness #PsychologyServicesSA #ChildPsychology #TeenageMentalHealth

July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month. We know that people of color often face a disproportionate impact from mental health conditions due to the stigma surrounding mental health in BIPOC communities and limited access to mental health resources. WJC primarily serves students of color who come from under resourced communities where they have experienced injustice and violence. Our programs create opportunities for them to find alternatives to conflict through Peer Mediation and Healing Circles. We have found that Healing Circles have helped students foster a sense of belonging and joy, which can significantly impact mental health. Peer Mediation allows students to feel empowered in a supportive environment, while enhancing their communication skills and boosting self-esteem. When young people feel connected and accepted within their communities, they are more likely to experience lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.

🌟 As Men's Mental Health Month draws to a close, it's vital for psychologists to stay informed about the APA's guidelines for treating boys and men. These guidelines emphasize the need for sensitive, gender-aware care that acknowledges the impact of societal norms on mental health. They remind us to consider the complex factors influencing the lives of boys and men, from cultural expectations to personal experiences. By following these guidelines, psychologists can enhance their ability to provide tailored support that meets the diverse needs of male clients. Let's share these resources widely to empower all mental health professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver compassionate care to boys and men everywhere. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on men's mental health. 🌐💼 #MensHealth #Psychology #APAGuidelines #MentalHealthAwareness
