It’s never too late to have a conversation about mental health. 🧠💬 Our Time to Talk Day campaign may have been a bit later than most, but we tactically decided to launch it during Zero Harm Week to ensure it had the greatest impact possible. Wondering what we did? Well, our ADSL mental health first aiders came up with a creative concept - they created word search puzzles that had to be completed while listening to distracting noises 🎧. This exercise effectively illustrated how distractions can have a significant impact on our mental well-being and our ability to focus, ultimately shedding light on the complexities of mental health and promoting open conversations about sensitive yet essential subjects.

Warning: this episode details self-harm. I thought it was important to have an episode talking about self-harm during Mental Health Awareness Month. It is very prevalent, especially among the younger population now, and is misunderstood often. Please be aware this episode goes into some specifics, but I think it’s very informative, especially if you have a loved one struggling and you don’t understand it. https://lnkd.in/ek-aq-fx

Parenting a teen with anxiety? Discover effective strategies to support your child's mental health journey in our latest blog post. From active listening to creating a safe haven at home, we've got you covered. https://sbhc.tech/3wzfRPj

Life has never been easy, and in some ways, arguably, the increased pace of life, immediate access to information/entertainment, and upped convenience of things have created an avalanche of anxiety. It is vital that we continue to love one another, and encourage and support one another. The Abide Network is a resource for mental health coaching and support for those who feel they are an island to themselves, even in the midst of a crowd, or those who would like to make some vital changes in mindset to accomplish goals. There are a number of different coaches, each specializing in their own niche. If you need someone to talk to, a sounding board to help you get out of your own head and move forward, I recommend this resource. https://www.abide.network/ "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power." ~2 Timothy 3:1-5
