Did you know it’s Mental Health Awareness Month? This month is a call to shore up the systems and services that address youth mental health. It’s also a reminder to all of us that we need to respond early to youth mental health challenges before a crisis occurs. 1 in 5 youth have or will experience mental illness in their lifetimes, according to the CDC. And 50% of youth mental health challenges show up by age 14. It can take 10+ years to access help and even longer for boys and male-identified youth. This is why it’s so important for our work that we reach young people early.

#ChildrensMentalHealthWeek 🌟 Navigating the neurotypical world as an autistic youth can be tough. Experiences are often misunderstood, labeled as 'no big deal' or 'dramatic,' impacting their mental health. 🧠💙 CAMH created a tip sheet by and for autistic youth, supported by family-carers and clinicians. It's a tool to help express their experiences and get the support they deserve. 📣 Share these resources to educate others about neurodiversity and mental health. Early help is powerful—no need to wait for a crisis. We're all in this together, rooting for you! 💪💙 #AutismAwareness #MentalHealthSupport https://ow.ly/SLiF50Qy7y8

At Qualitas Housing we understand that being able to boost our mental health through movement shouldn’t be a luxury. Yet new research from the Mental Health Foundation shows that too many people are facing barriers when it comes to moving for their mental health due to financial strain and inequality. We want our tenants to know that we are here to support them in getting moving! You can speak to your Housing Officer or Support Worker so that they can help you as well as set goals for your movement and mental health.

“Evidence suggests that people from Black Asian and Minority Ethnic communities are at higher risk of developing a mental health problem in adulthood. But they’re less likely to receive support for their mental health.” Do you see the support gap? The lack of inclusion and understanding surrounding the impact of racism on mental health means our communities are losing out. Our Healthy Minds programme is designed to provide resources specifically on racism and its impact on mental health. We want this to be a platform where voices are heard and perspectives seen. Especially of those directly impacted as their lived experiences hold the key to fostering a more inclusive and informed understanding of mental health challenges. 🫶🏾 #babayangufoundation #communutyproject #empoweringcommunities #breakingmentalbarriers

ACTG is honoured to provide services that respect and nurture this significant period, aiming to build resilience and a foundation for lifelong happiness in our children and adolescents. As we observe this meaningful day, we focus on elevating the dialogue about mental health, dismantling stigma, and recognising the power of mental health services. #ACTG #MentalHealth #HealingHopeChange

July is #BIPOCMentalHealth Awareness Month, a time to highlight the unique mental health challenges of historically disenfranchised and oppressed racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. Communities of color not only experience disproportionate rates of mental health issues resulting from stressors like racism, oppression, and generational trauma, they also experience more barriers to mental health care, such as stigma and lack of access to mental health resources. This month, we encourage everyone to take steps toward improving mental health in BIPOC communities. Mental Health America has free resources to help you better understand the unique issues facing people of color and to properly support their mental health needs. Their BIPOC Mental Health Toolkit includes a variety of material to help combat stigma, dismantle myths, and encourage conversations about mental health: https://bit.ly/3xLBQTU #PeerSupport #MentalHealth
