Better Together: Let’s co-create the future of #mentalhealth 🧠! This is the theme of European Mental Health Week 2024. I believe it is essential to reflect about the concept of co-creation in mental health and how different groups can come together to support it. These are my three main points: ❇️ First, we need new treatments with a faster onset of action, higher rates of response and remission, and an improved safety profile. For some diseases, better treatments are not enough. Take an example such as #dementia– we must also develop better diagnostic tools to identify the disease as early as possible, as early intervention can slow down its progression. I call on developers to do more research. We at EMA are ready to support your efforts, for example by providing scientific advice and protocol assistance. ❇️ Second, when it comes to mental health, let’s not forget: medicines are never a silver bullet on their own. I cannot emphasise enough the importance of #psychotherapy, which can bring relief and support to those dealing with mental health struggles. We need to encourage decision-makers to prioritise access to psychotherapy. We know that such medical services can be expensive and the waiting-lists to see a psychologist are often very long. ❇️ Third and finally: let’s all take a self-check and look at our own lifestyle. Getting enough sleep, reducing screen time and the consumption of social media content, drinking less alcohol, a healthy diet and physical activity, and taking the time and energy to nurture friendships and become part of a community – all of these can help us achieve psychological balance in our lives. Little changes in any of these areas can lead to big improvements overall. Ultimately, co-creation is about responsibility, trust, action, and shared accountability. Are you ready to take the leap? #HealthUnion #BetterTogether #wellbeing #EuropeanMentalHealthWeek

Supporting Mental Health in Aesthetics 🌟 As it is Mental Health Awareness Week, it's crucial to recognise the integral role practitioners play in supporting patients' mental well-being throughout their aesthetic journey. We've created some key steps to consider below 👇 Start from the First Contact From initial contact, practitioners can establish a supportive environment by promoting responsible marketing, ethical messaging, and promote body positivity on social media. Authentic communication during consultations and treatments further reinforces this approach. Identifying Red Flags Practitioners should remain vigilant for signs of urgency or dissatisfaction, particularly during consultations. Thoroughly assessing a patient's medical history can provide valuable insights into their mental well-being and suitability for treatment. Saying No Ethically Sometimes, the best course of action is to defer treatment or even decline it if it's not in the patient's best interest. Approach refusal with care and empathy, offering alternatives and support. Continuous Education Stay informed and educated about mental health conditions, communication skills, and motivations for treatment. By understanding and addressing mental health, we create a safer and more supportive environment for patients and practitioners alike.

🌟PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH WEEK: Day 5: Finding the right care for you 🌟 Climbing the ladder of support 🪜 Getting the care we need, when we need it, in the way that feels right for us, is all part of the healing journey. Sometimes it can feel impossible to get support (particularly when starting a family) because the needs of others can seem so immediate and important, so our needs slip to the bottom of the list. When we are in the thick of it all, it can be hard to know what will help us most. If you have a list of people or strategies that have helped you through past challenges, you could access these again. If you don’t have any people or strategies to turn to, you can use this ladder of support below. Imagine support as a ladder, and each rung of the ladder represents a higher level of care and support: 1. The lowest rung might be a cup of tea that hits the spot, or taking a moment to reset by applying your favourite hand cream. 2. The next rung might be calling a friend and talking through your day, listening to a podcast that helps you feel more connected, or reading trusted information (available through our partners) about what you’re experiencing. 3. The next rung may be an appointment with your GP to talk about what you’re feeling and about how to access the next rungs on your ladder. 4. The next rung might be seeing a mental health care provider, women’s health physio or gaining access to family support. You are not alone climbing this ladder. We’re here, uncover your village. 🌟 We’re here, uncover your village. 🌟 Visit https://lnkd.in/g7VseEuJ to find 75+ trained and experienced perinatal psychologists to provide support and treatment.

Helping people look & feel their best and relieve the pain of jaw tension & teeth-grinding through the power of Aesthetic Medicine.
Controversial confession: I sometimes get ‘Awareness Week’ fatigue. But please let me explain. This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. And as a Consultant Psychiatrist who worked in the NHS for many years with people experiencing severe and enduring mental health difficulties, reducing stigma and improving mental well-being is incredibly important to me. But there are so many awareness weeks these days that I think it’s easy for the message behind them to get lost or diluted into soundbites. I also sometimes think to myself ‘What do you want me to do differently by being aware?’; ‘How will this awareness week bring about change?’. And actually, that’s another reason why I’m fully behind this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week as it has a clear, actionable theme based on solid evidence. The theme is ‘Movement: Moving more for our mental health’ and the campaign encourages people to introduce more movement into their everyday routines in realistic ways - because we know that moving our bodies more is great for our minds. So, don’t get me wrong, I’m all for raising awareness of important issues but can we take a leaf out of the Mental Health Foundation’s book and do it in meaningful, actionable ways? What do you think: Am I missing the point and asking too much or is awareness enough? — About Me: I’m Baldeep Farmah, Aesthetic Doctor & Clinical Lead for Dr Aesthetica Medical Aesthetics Clinic & The Bruxism Clinic. I’m passionate about educating people about the range of treatments that are available and the proven benefits they bring and I’m always open to questions. #MentalHealthMatters #Birmingham #AestheticMedicine

As we observe Mental Health Week this week, we want to emphasize the importance of compassion and understanding about how mental health is shaped and the impact of brain development on overall well-being. At CUPS, we believe in taking a trauma-informed approach to integrated care. We aim to continuously learn about the connection between mental health and overall well-being by studying brain science. That’s why every staff member who works at CUPS is required to take the Alberta Family Wellness Initiative’s Brain Story Certification course. Learning about brain science in the Brain Story course helps us understand how our experiences and relationships shape our brains from an early age. This knowledge empowers us to provide a trauma-informed, holistic approach to care that addresses not only immediate needs but also nurtures the potential for meaningful and lasting improvements to well-being. When someone approaches us for any program or service, we ask, “What happened to you?” instead of “What's wrong with you?”. This question reflects our commitment to understanding and addressing the root causes of mental health issues, not just the symptoms. We focus on the root cause of mental health challenges to create a stigma-free, safe environment to talk about mental health and move towards a journey of healing. To learn more about the Alberta Family Wellness Initiative and the Brain Story Certification, visit https://lnkd.in/gnmapEV5. If you are in need of mental health support and wish to connect with the CUPS Mental Health Clinic, call 403-221-8797 to speak with someone today. #MentalHealthWeek #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma

Diversify Your Private Practice | Regenerative Explorer | Executive Coach | Inspiring Psychologists Podcast host 🚀
In mental health care, courage isn't just for our clients; it's a vital trait for us as practitioners. We inhabit a space where uncertainty and emotional risks are part of the daily norm. Stepping into private practice demands not only professional acumen but also personal courage. It's about daring to create an environment where both practitioners and clients can flourish, largely by fostering connection, compassion, and purpose within our practice. This courage also extends to how we approach #regeneration in our private practice—a concept that I believe is paramount for ongoing success. You see, regeneration isn't just about taking a break or a holiday; it's about consistently revitalising and nurturing our practice, our approach, and ourselves. Every day, I speak to fellow psychologists and therapists who are redefining what it means to heal and be healed. Together, we're embracing innovative methods, venturing into new areas of research and practice, and adopting fresh perspectives that not only benefit our clients but also rejuvenate our passion for the work we do. For me, regeneration means taking time to reflect on my journey, celebrate the progress, and contemplate the future. It’s about asking, “How can my practice be more life-giving?” not from a place of lack, but from a place of genuine desire to grow in balance with my environment. This journey is not a solitary one, and I am continuously inspired by the collective wisdom and support within our community. As we step forward, let’s hold onto the courage that not only led us here but pushes us to further innovate, connect, and thrive in our private practices. So here's to courage in our profession—may it be the fuel that propels us towards continued regeneration and excellence in mental health care. #MentalHealthCare #CourageousLeadership #HealthcareLeaders #psychologists
