When our teens are upset or disappointed, does anyone else face this challenge? I enjoyed having a discussion with my friend Eva Dwight about raising teens. #parentingtips #teenagers #copingskills #parentingjourney #emotionalwellness #mentalhealthsupport #familyengagement #parentingadvice #teenanxiety #empoweringteachers #parentingresources #positivediscipline #montessoriathome #montessori

🩵 Listen and validate: Actively listen to their experiences and validate their feelings. Let them know that you believe them and that what they are going through is not their fault. Offer a safe space for them to express their emotions and concerns without judgment. 🩵 Offer empathy and reassurance: Express understanding and compassion. Reassure them that they are not alone and that you are there to support them. Encourage them to talk about their experiences and feelings, and let them know that you are willing to help in any way you can. 🩵 Take action and advocate: Encourage the person being bullied to report the incidents to a trusted adult, such as a teacher, counselor, or parent. Offer to accompany them if they feel uncomfortable doing it alone. By taking action and advocating for them, you can help empower the person being bullied and work towards finding a resolution to the situation. Tea of Therapy's mission is for all schools to have an onsite counsellor by 2025. We believe that children and students should have a positive attitude towards their wellbeing.

CULTURAL CONTINUITY That’s what Knowledge Keeper Cecil Sveinson identifies as the key to our men achieving positive and lasting mental health. For more than a quarter of a century, the Poplar River First Nation citizen has been at the forefront of outreach and prevention for men involved in the justice system. Cecil describes many of them as “walking wounded” with no real blueprint for life thanks to generational impacts of the residential schools, day schools, and Sixties Scoop. He says the men he works with often have two ways of dealing with the pressures of life—silence or rage. However, he says there is a way out of this cycle and that’s through reintroducing culture back into their lives. Whether it’s traditional ceremonies, men’s sharing circles,  or even having an Elder in residence at a school or university, Cecil says exposing men and boys consistently to their cultures and traditional ways holds the key to healing. June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month. It’s a chance to shine a light on the significance of men's mental health and well-being. To mark this important initiative, the Southern Chiefs’ Organization (SCO) honours Cecil and all who work to provide portals of healing for our men and boys. If you would like to access culturally appropriate programming for yourself or for the men and boys in your life, consider reaching out to the SCO’s Traditional Healers Program.

🌟 Building Healthy Friendships: A Lesson for Life 🌟 As parents and educators, it's crucial to teach our children about the importance of cultivating healthy friendships. At the Bullying Recovery Resource Center (BRRC), we understand that strong, supportive friendships play a vital role in a child's social and emotional development. Teaching kids about healthy friendships means empowering them to: 🤝 Respect each other's boundaries and differences 💬 Communicate openly and honestly 👂 Listen actively and empathetically 🤗 Offer support and encouragement 🔍 Recognize signs of unhealthy relationships By instilling these values early on, we can help our children navigate the complexities of friendships with confidence and compassion. Together, let's equip our kids with the skills they need to build meaningful connections and foster positive relationships that last a lifetime. Join us in our mission to empower children with the tools to cultivate healthy friendships and create a more inclusive and supportive community. Together, we can make a difference. 💙  #HealthyFriendships #EmpowerKids #BRRCCommunity

Fortunate to have served as a guest on the Vulnerable podcast with Christy Carlson Romano to discuss supports for child actors. The Entertainment Community Fund supports entertainment professionals in the performing arts, and my program, the Looking Ahead program specifically supports the mental health and well-being of child actors and other professional performers. Here are a few tips to support youth. 1) Support them in identifying their feelings. Being able to identify and verbalize our feelings is a great way to relieve stress. 2) As much as we adults want to encourage resilience and follow through, it's important to teach kids that they have a right to change their minds as they grow. 3) Help kids identify their saturation point with questions like "how is your stress level now? How might you know when you're feeling too stressed?" Stress is inevitable, but knowing our overwhelm markers is vital. 4) Support them in identifying their definition of a full life. Life is more than grades or career aspirations. It's friendship, community, nature, spirituality and then some. 5) Support the cultivation of joy. It's an often neglected life skill to be able to find and access joy, particularly in the small occurrences of life. #mentalhealth #youth #adolescentmentalhealth #actorslife #childmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthcounseling #socialwork https://lnkd.in/ggNcn5-s
