#Recovery is real. But the concept has been defined, described, and discussed in so many different ways that it may have maximized the impact it can have on mental health policy and services. In this article (This link should provide free access - https://rdcu.be/dMUQo), I propose building on the concept of recovery by fully adopting and promoting #communityinclusion, which has the potential to move the field forward in revolutionary ways.

At Little Otter, we understand that mental health awareness is just the beginning; true change comes from sustained, collective action. This Mental Health Awareness Month, we are proud to join leaders in youth behavioral health in a year-round commitment to improving youth mental health. This year's #MentalHealthActionDay theme is, 'Dedicate One Hour to Connection,' highlights a powerful yet simple truth: feeling connected, seen, and understood by a trusted adult is crucial for supporting youth mental health. Strong relationships not only enhance youth well-being but also enable early intervention, which is essential for addressing unmet mental health needs before they escalate. We encourage everyone—youth and the caring adults in their lives—to recognize that experiencing mental health challenges is normal and seeking support is not only okay but necessary. Take a moment today to connect with a student, friend, or colleague, and don't forget to check in with yourself as well. Beyond this month and this moment, let's keep the conversation about mental health going all year long. Remember, no one has to face their struggles alone. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of young people and build a brighter future for all. 💙 Read the full statement: loh.care/MHAD2024 and spread this powerful message within your community. Your action today can truly change a life. #MentalHealthActionDay #YouthWellness #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth Backpack Healthcare BeMe Health Bend Health Brightline Cartwheel Clarity Pediatrics Daybreak Health Equip Hazel Health Little Otter

This morning we launched Mindarma's Self-Compassion Series with the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing in Victoria as part of their Wellbeing Month. Grateful to have had Secretary Peta Mccammon and Deputy Secretary Kathleen Alonso launch the series. Over 440 people joined us for this morning's session. It was wonderful to have such a lovely group online to explore the neurobiology of Self-Compassion and the many mental health benefits of these practises. We also explored two self-compassion meditations via experiential practise. DFFH employees do incredibly important work in our communities which can often go unnoticed. Throughout October we'll be sharing different self-compassion and proactive self-care strategies that are proven to protect mental health and wellbeing when working in service-to-others roles. #wellbeing #selfcompassion #selfcare #mentalhealthmatters #proactive #selfcarematters #October #service #mentalhealth #community #care #servicetoothers #bekindtoyourmind #protactive #evidencebased #strongertogether

The month of July is Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health struggles for the BIPOC community are unique in nature due to the complex interactions between BIPOC individuals and their environments. ETR’s Health Equity Framework (HEF) breaks those complex interactions down by four spheres of influence. ➡ Relationships and networks ➡ Individual factors ➡ Systems of power ➡ Physiological pathways As a health equity organization, we acknowledge these intersectional factors and remain dedicated to doing the work to help BIPOC individuals where they need it most to achieve their best health. Learn more about the HEF, spheres of influence, and how you can apply it to your mental health equity work at our website: https://hubs.la/Q02DVTmZ0 #BIPOC #HealthEquity #Healthcare #BIPOCHealth #PublicHealth #Health #Intersectionality #NonProfitHealth #Equity #MentalHealth

Proud to announce that I am now certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid by National Council for Mental Wellbeing!

This training helps us create those supportive spaces. 🔹 Empowering Youth: By understanding mental health, we can teach coping strategies and resilience, empowering youth to navigate challenges effectively. 🔹 Reducing Stigma: Normalizing conversations around mental health is crucial. This certification is a step towards breaking the stigma and encouraging openness. 🔹 Holistic Approach: Mental health is as vital as physical health. Addressing it ensures we are supporting the whole person. Thank you to the National Council for Mental Wellbeing for this valuable training.

For example, a lack of interest in some activities. *Talking about mental health can help older adults feel more comfortable asking for support. *Mental health treatment can be part of a wellness program to help older adults live happy and fulfilling lives. *Mental health professionals can help older adults cope with life changes. *Friends and family can experience meaningful mutual connection by spending time visiting with older adults. *Mental health is important at every age.
