Happy Fourth of July from Touchstone Health Services! 🎆 This Fourth of July, while we celebrate, let's also be mindful of those who may experience challenges due to loud noises and sensory sensitivities. Here are some quick tips to help navigate the festivities with care: 1. Plan Ahead: Know where and when fireworks will be happening in your area to prepare mentally or help others prepare. 2. Utilize Ear Protection: Consider using earplugs or noise-canceling headphones to reduce the impact of loud sounds. 3. Create a Safe Space: If possible, designate a quiet, calm area at home or at gatherings where individuals can retreat if they feel overwhelmed. 4. Communicate: Let friends and family know about sensitivities you or others experience so they can be supportive and understanding. 5. Practice Relaxation Techniques: Deep breathing exercises or listening to soothing music beforehand can help manage anxiety. Let's enjoy the Fourth of July inclusively! #FourthofJuly #MentalHealthAwareness

Summer is a crucial time to be aware of youth mental health! During the time spent away from school, friends, and routine, be sure to check in with your youth regularly. To help prevent mental health concerns from arising, encourage open conversations, stay active, and maintain a routine at home. Summer is a great time to encourage new hobbies, enjoy family time together, and get outside when it’s not too hot. Let’s prioritize youth mental well-being this summer!
