We recently launched a brand new session called "I Spy the Signs: Mental Health vs. Emotional Distress." According to a 2023 Pew Research poll, nearly 9 out of 10 young people aged 14 to 25 regularly face mental health challenges. The reasons behind the high rates of sadness and depression in teenagers are complex and multifaceted, and distinguishing between mental health issues and typical hormonal emotions can be challenging. In our new session, we delve into strategies for identifying teenagers who may be struggling with their mental health, how to ask appropriate questions, and unravel the complexities of the modern-day mental health crisis.

Today, on International Youth Day, we want to highlight the critical importance of mental health resources for young people. Our youth face unique challenges and pressures, making access to mental health support more crucial than ever. Tips for Parents and Educators: Open Communication: Encourage open, honest conversations about feelings and mental health. Create a safe space where young people feel comfortable expressing themselves. Educate Yourself: Stay informed about the signs of mental health issues. Understanding anxiety, depression, and other common challenges can help you provide timely support. Promote Healthy Habits: Encourage balanced routines that include regular physical activity, healthy eating, and sufficient sleep. These habits can significantly impact mental well-being. Model Self-Care: Demonstrate the importance of self-care by taking care of your own mental health. Children and teens learn by example. Seek Professional Help: If you notice persistent signs of mental distress, don't hesitate to seek help from a mental health professional. Early intervention can make a significant difference. At Wellview Counseling, we are dedicated to supporting the mental health of young people. Let's work together to create a nurturing environment where our youth can thrive emotionally and mentally. #InternationalYouthDay #YouthMentalHealth #WellviewCounseling #MentalHealthAwareness #SupportOurYouth #MentalWellbeing

It's Mental Health Awareness Week! Did you know that 1 in 5 children experience a mental health challenge in a given year? It's a staggering statistic, but behind every number, there's a story 💙 Children facing mental health challenges might experience: Anxiety: Feeling overwhelmed, fearful, or constantly worried about everyday situations. Depression: Persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, self-isolation changes in sleep or appetite. Behavioural Challenges: Acting out, aggression, lack of focus, emotional outbursts. It's crucial to recognise these signs early and provide the support and resources needed for children to thrive. Let's break the stigma and prioritise mental health for our youngest generation. #childrensmentalhealth #childwellbeing #socialemotionallearning #childdevelopment #formativeyears #breakthestimga

The treadmill, dog walks and always taking the stairs rather than the lift, thanks for asking... 🏃🏻♂️💨 Mental Health Awareness Week is fast approaching between 13th to 19th May - incidentally the same window as Learning at Work Week - and the theme this year is #MomentsForMovement. I'm a firm believer that MH events like this help to remind us just how important it is, for every single day of the year, for many reasons such as: 📊 Mixed anxiety and depression is Britain's most common mental disorder, with 7.8% of people meeting the criteria for diagnosis (co-incidentally, they've also been estimated to cause one-fifth of days lost from work in Britain). 📊 4 to 10% of people in England will experience depression in their lifetime. 📊 One adult in six has had a common mental disorder.
