#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MomentsforMovement Having access to live data through the TLM Portal and reporting tools delivered by our IT partner Aire Logic and Aire Innovate, means we can see clearly how the amount of activity in children and young people declines as they get older. Year 6 -73% do more than one hour of activity every day 21% do less than one hour of activity every day 3% do no activity at all By the time they reach Post 16- 56% do more than one hour of activity daily 33% do less than one hour of activity daily 9% do no activity This live data allows School Health Teams to identify areas of concern by individual, school and locality, so being able to use their expertise and resources to the best effect. They can also support individuals who ask for more help or information when they need it. Last year 5% of young people asked for help and support around physical Activity, with 3% asking for the same around Emotional health. For Year 6 that balance was 6% asking for help and support around physical activity but 15% around emotional health. https://lnkd.in/eKs5983Q www.https://https://lnkd.in/eyZ7M4WQ

So well said. Thank you Mister Rogers… Embracing this is exactly what we need to help lead the change in the culture of medicine that so many of us are working to effect. It’s one thing to tell our physicians and practitioners that they should: practice self-care set boundaries ask for/seek help when struggling… It’s another thing to: normalize these behaviors celebrate these behaviors FACILITATE these behaviors in a genuinely supportive, practical, and NON-punitive (neither blatantly nor subtly punitive) manner This shift IS happening and we also have a LONG way to go. It’s a long haul that is worth every single second of effort. Because it’s about real human beings who are struggling and suffering and sometimes even taking their own lives. Nothing more worthwhile fighting for than changing that. Can I get an amen?🙏🏼❤️ #physicianwellbeing #physicianburnout #mentalhealth #arnp #physicianassistant #womeninmedicine #womeninhealthcare #familymedicine #primarycare #clinicianwellbeing #pedsnp #pcnp
