Celebrating National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month This July, PCMA honors #NationalMinorityMentalHealthAwarenessMonth, a vital time to recognize and address the unique mental health challenges faced by BIPOC communities. Behavior analysis can play a significant role in creating environments that better support mental health needs. By applying evidence-based strategies, we can: 🔹 Foster Positive Environments: Use reinforcement techniques to encourage supportive behaviors within communities. 🔹 Identify Barriers: Pinpoint specific issues affecting mental health and design interventions to overcome them. 🔹 Promote Inclusivity: Ensure that mental health services and support systems are culturally relevant and accessible. Let’s leverage the science of human behavior to build a more inclusive and supportive world for everyone. 💪❤️ [Sponsored by the Professional Crisis Management Association] #MentalHealthMatters #BehaviorAnalysis #BIPOCMentalHealth #InclusiveCare #CommunitySupport #PCMA

Incredibly interesting webinar on the need for reform of mental health services globally - highlighting the need for a service that "privileges social interventions and community support"- a service that is "humanistic, relational and psychosocial". Looking forward to reading the full report https://lnkd.in/dvB_Eijv

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of moderating a panel discussion at Bett Global on supporting children with EBSA ( emotionally based school avoidance). I just heard that there were 160 people in the audience. While I'm happy that so many people chose to attend our discussion, I'm also saddened that educators, parents and their children/young people are not getting the support they need. As I get ready to get my own children ready to go back to school after the half-term break, I'm reflecting on my own family's experience around this in the past. At the same time, I'm thinking of all the parents/carers who are struggling with this and the educators who are actively trying to support them. Last year, I recorded a webinar for The National College on managing transitions, not just at the start of the school year or from primary to secondary, but also throughout the school year and the school day. If you're preparing to go back after the half-term break, it might be worth a watch. I hope you find it useful. There is also this guide from THE ANNA FREUD CENTRE https://lnkd.in/e7n5RV2j And a great blog from a headteacher who experienced this as a parent with his own child. https://lnkd.in/eajZ2y92 We really need to find a different way because what we're doing now is just not working. https://lnkd.in/ebkGikMD #EBSA #transitions #transitionsuccess #education #educationaltransformation #educationforall #relationshipsmatter #traumainformed
