Did you know there are options beyond 12-step programs for sobriety support? Online support groups are gaining popularity, and for good reason. This article in Forbes Health highlights the need for online support groups and the ways they can help people seeking sobriety. Per the article, “peer support groups led to reduced relapse rates, increased treatment retention, improved relationships with treatment providers and more satisfaction with treatment overall.” And when people can join a support group online, it becomes more accessible to everyone, which is always a good thing. At Circles, we have groups like, “Stop Overdrinking” and “Unleash Your Bounce Back Power” that help people in their journey to and through sobriety. #supportgroups #sobrietysupport https://lnkd.in/dmcWDYth

Sleep is essential when it comes to managing your behavioral health. Teens need 8-10 hours of sleep a night. Set a bedtime routine, turn off all electronic devices 30 mins. before going to sleep, limit caffeine, and try to get some exercise during the day. Looking for more advice on how to improve your behavioral health? Ask to speak to a triage clinician at your next visit. Teen Health Connection’s behavioral health triage clinician is available by phone and to patients during medical visits to provide brief education, intervention, and to connect patients to treatment and community resources. #TeenHealthConnection #AdolescentMedicine #BehavioralHealth #Teens #Parentsofteens

As part of my Heath Assistant role in my gym I deal with a lot of health referrals in my area.. below is an insight of what I do… The Physical Activity Prescription (PAP) initiative across South Lanarkshire, is helping NHS Lanarkshire tackle major health conditions such as obesity and diabetes as well as mild to moderate mental health conditions. Research published in the British Medical Journal found that a green/social prescription can improve a patient’s quality of life over 12 months and help people live longer and healthier lives. Depression is projected to be the second leading cause of illness and disability. PAP takes the preventative approach to address mental ill health and related health conditions. It’s a great way of engaging the community in “regular physical activity” that can provide both physical and psychological health benefits. #Connect #Visit Collaborate #personaltrainer #physicalactivityandhealth
