๐ง Mental Health vs. Mental Illness ๐ง It's important to understand the difference between mental health and mental illness. Mental health refers to our overall emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. It influences how we think, feel, and behave in our daily lives. Mental illness, on the other hand, involves diagnosable conditions that affect mental functioning. Educators play a key role in promoting mental health in our schools. By fostering a positive environment, we can support students' emotional resilience and prevent mental health challenges from escalating. However, recognizing the signs of mental illness and knowing when to refer students to professional support is equally vital. Many schools group proactive mental health efforts and reactive responses to mental illness within the same role or position description. This approach can blur the lines, impacting the quality of both proactive and reactive support. While proactive efforts focus on promoting positive mental health through education, resilience-building, and wellbeing activities, reactive responses require specialized training and involve addressing mental health crises. How does your school handle the distinction between proactive mental health and reactive mental illness care? Share your approach below and let's learn from each other. ๐ง #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalIllness #PositiveEducation #ChildrensMentalHealth #MentalHealthInSchools #SupportingStudents #WellbeingInEducation

๐จTW.information about suicide. May 7th is National Child and Youth Mental Health Day in Canada. These numbers do not show clearly the crises that is mental health and illness in children and youth. With a steady rise in the number of mental health crisis, only 1 out of 6 kids will get the right treatment in Ontario. With the medical system understaffed, lack of services, and a shortage of youth specialists in the system - it leads to the lack of early intervention that is needed with the age group. Families at times end up waiting lists 9 months to get access to care. There is also huge access problem for youth especially in Indigenous populations who are 5 times more likely to die by suicide. Children and Youthโs health has been on a steady rise with the numbers multiplying since the pandemic in 2020. โ๏ธmentalhealthcommission.ca โ๏ธcmho.org โ๏ธcihi.ca/en โโ #youthmentalhealthca #childrensmentalhealth #mentalhealthweek2024

I love using a real life doctorโs kit in my play therapy room and is always a very popular choice of play with the children! ๐ฉโโ๏ธ Thereโs so many benefits to having a real life doctorโs kit available as it gives children the opportunity to play out life experiences and explore their feelings accordingly. Having plasters available are essential as they truly are a magical healing tool! We all remember feeling much better after receiving a plaster for a little cut or bump that may not necessarily have โ neededโ a plaster, right? Well really it was knowing that someone was connecting with us in the moment, acknowledging our feelings and affirming we were safe that helped us to feel better! ๐ In Play Therapy children can use the plasters to symbolise acknowledging wounds, finding strength and working towards healing. They may use plasters on the therapist or dolls exploring themes of nurture, symbolising repair, develop empathy, attune to others feelings and it also gives the therapist the opportunity to model appropriate responses to recieving medical care. I love to offer plasters for the โinner hurtsโ also which help affirm to the child I see them โค๏ธโ๐ฉน A real stethoscope offers opportunities for the child to listen in to their own heartbeat, beginning to develop an awareness of linking emotions to body responses, we can explore โis there a difference in your heartbeat when you are experiencing different emotions?โ ๐ฉบ It can be so useful to have a real life doctor kit at home to connect to your childโs emotions and give them an opportunity to play out thoughts and feelings - this can be as little as a basket with plasters, bandages, surgical tape, medical syringe, stethoscope and lollipop sticks (for tongue depressors) Iโd love to hear if you already do this or if you try it how it goes! ๐ #playtherapy #playtherapist #playtherapistmom #playtherapyworks #childrensmentalhealth #emotionalwellbeing #connection #connectionsmatter
This week is children's book week and at Wingfield Designs we put something together very special to raise funds for the Children's mental health charity young minds. A collection of children wrote stories for children to support children having a difficult time! These children are absolutely inspirational and it was all about encouraging the next generation of young writers. Please be aware that these stories haven't been edited, they've been proofed for typos but we felt that it was important for the children's words to be as raw as they could to allow there creativity to come through! All proceeds from the sales of these books will be donated to YoungMinds who are supporting children and their parents. If you or your child is suffering with any mental health conditions please do reach out.

As a Psychotherapist, one of the top questions Iโm asked by parents is โhow do we protect our kids from the internet?โ The most obvious answer would be; Take away their phone! Or, disconnect the WIFI! But as parents we know that this is not very realistic. The less-obvious, but most effective answer is; Confident Kids with High Self-Esteem are less vulnerable to negative outside influences. And taking small positive steps towards this doesnโt have to be complicated! Starting with just 10 to 15 minutes a day of pro-growth, quality-time with your child, can have a big impact on your childโs confidence, self-esteem and mental health, both now and for the future. The TalkHere Wellbeing Kit is a simple-to-follow program, packed with fun worksheets, exercises and activities that can help inspire confidence and emotional growth in your child and improve their ability to communicate more effectively. โณ๏ธโณ๏ธโณ๏ธโณ๏ธโณ๏ธ โThere are a number of similar style products on the market however itโs rare you come across one such as this.

ADHD or Attention Deficit- Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children. Itโs typically diagnosed in childhood and continues into adulthood. It is normal for children to have trouble focusing and behaving sometimes. However, children with ADHD do not just grow out of these behaviors. The symptoms continue, can be severe, and can cause difficulty at school, at home, or with friends. Being healthy is important for all children and can be especially important for children with ADHD. In addition to behavioral therapy and medication, having a healthy lifestyle can make it easier for your child to deal with ADHD symptoms. Encourage your child to stay active, go to bed on time, and eat whole foods. โข โข โข #nursepractitioner #childrenshealth #mentalhealth #adhd #childrensmentalhealth

TEACHING CHILDREN KINDNESS FOR MENTAL HEALTH WEEK "Healing through Compassion" is the central theme of Mental Health Week this year. ๐ค ๐ง ๐ Throughout the week, parents and teachers can guide children in understanding and practicing compassion. ๐คฒ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐ฆ By emphasizing that compassion begins with self-care and extends outward to others, including peers, family members, and even communities, we cultivate a culture of empathy and support. ๐๐๐คฒ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐ฆ An example of kindness and compassion: In a local community, a group of neighbors organizes a food drive for families in need. They collect non-perishable items, organize them into food baskets, and deliver them to households experiencing financial hardship, providing not just food but also a sense of caring and support. ๐๏ธ๐ฅซ๐คฒ We all understand that teachers cannot effectively educate children if their physical and mental health needs arenโt met. That's why the Alberta Teachersโ Association, in collaboration with the Alberta Division of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and Global Television, has joined forces to emphasize mental health in classrooms. We all have the power to be compassionate, and it can make a big difference. This Mental Health Week is all about the healing strength of compassion. Helping Children: Child Psychology Services joins CMHA from May 6 to 12, 2024, to explore how compassion brings us together. #alberta #kidsmentalhealth #CompassionConnects #edmonton #mentalhealthweek #yeg
Supporting a childโs mental health is crucial for their overall well-being. Here are some practical ways to help your child maintain good mental health: Be There to Listen: Regularly ask your child how theyโre doing, encouraging them to talk about their feelings. Knowing thereโs someone who will listen can make a significant difference. Support Them Through Difficulties: Pay attention to their feelings and behavior. Help them work through challenges by understanding what theyโre experiencing. Stay Involved in Their Life: Show genuine interest in their activities and what matters to them. This not only helps them feel valued but also enables you to spot any issues and provide support. Encourage Their Interests: Support and nurture their hobbies and interests. Being active, creative, learning new things, and participating in team activities can boost mental well-being. Take What They Say Seriously: Listening to their thoughts and valuing their opinions fosters a sense of worth. Help them express their emotions constructively. Build Positive Routines: Establish regular routines, especially around healthy eating, exercise, and sleep. A consistent bedtime and wake-up time contribute to better mental health. Talk About Emotions Regularly: Normalise discussions about feelings. Help them understand and express their emotions openly.

When a child asks you to play with them, the meaning behind that simple request can be more valuable than what we think. Consider what is really behind their words. #playtherapy #parentchildrelationship #childrensmentalhealth #playistheworkofchildhood #childdevelopment

Today we're exploring the role of Self-Management skillsโvital for our youth's emotional and behavioral regulation. ๐ Through structured interventions children can learn to navigate their emotions and behaviors effectively. The results? Improved classroom behavior, fewer disciplinary referrals, and reduced suspensions. ๐๐ก These interventions are not just about reducing negative behaviors but also about equipping our youth with the capabilities to face life's challenges with resilience and confidence. ๐ช Teaching students emotional regulation could have a profound impact on an individual level, and even on a system level when addressing the #SchoolToPrisonPipeline. Let's empower our children with the tools for self-management, helping them build a foundation for success and well-being!

As weโre focusing on childrenโs mental health awareness this week, Iโd like to ask parents: How are you teaching and demonstrating love to your kids? Are you ensuring they understand healthy relationships, rather than being exposed to harmful dynamics? How frequently do your kids witness affection between you and your partner, like kisses, playful interactions, or hand-holding? The way you express love to your children now will shape their perceptions of love as adults. #ChildrensMentalHealth #Parenting #HealthyRelationships #LoveTeaching #CharlotteRuwona #YourPsychBae #HealthyParenting

๐๐ฒ๐ผ ๐ฑ๐ช๐น๐น๐ ๐น๐ต๐ช๐ฌ๐ฎโฆ๐๐ This weekend we had a night away at the seaside, we had an amazing time. The beach has always been a happy place for Rory. Itโs a distraction away from life and a place he truly is himself, I love watching him look so relaxed and happy as he jumps the waves, transports water and digs until his heart is content. Heโs really needed this after the past few weeks of being so up and down worrying what the future holds as we still have no school placement for September. Itโs such a big change for him this year as he leaves junior school and he wonโt be continuing school life his friends who have supported him so much over the past few years โฅ๏ธ. Hopefully we will have some clarity soon but at this point Iโm not holding my breath. But I will still be his voice and I will continue to fight for what he deserves! ๐ช
May marks Mental Health Awareness Month, and we're starting it with Children's Mental Health Acceptance Week! โจ This week reminds us of the critical need to prioritize the mental well-being of our young ones. Our children and teenagers are the ones who will make the world better. So, we have to make sure they're happy in their hearts, just like we make sure they're physically healthy! ๐ As parents and caregivers, how can we raise awareness? ๐ค ๐ง Challenge the stigma! By promoting understanding and empathy, we create a more supportive environment for those struggling with mental health challenges. ๐ง Don't forget to encourage acknowledgement. Denial or avoidance only exacerbates the problem, hindering early intervention and support. ๐ง Increase awareness in signs and symptoms. Educating people about the symptoms and warning signs of mental health disorders empowers them to recognize when a child might be struggling. This knowledge enables timely intervention and access to appropriate resources. ๐ง Social media is a great tool, use it! Social media platforms provide powerful tools for spreading awareness. By sharing informative posts, personal stories, and resources, we can reach a broader audience and spark meaningful conversations about children's mental health. ๐ง Lastly, do not shy away from open dialogue. Engaging in conversations about mental health with friends and family helps break down barriers. Encouraging discussions not only reduces stigma but also encourages seeking help when needed. Not sure where to start? ๐๐ป Comment "BLUEPRINT" and I'll send you a great resource to help your kid! P.S. Let's spread the word by sharing this post. Remember, Children's Mental Health Matters! ๐ #drroseann #itsgonnabeok #childrensmentalhealthawareness #childrensmentalhealthweek #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #childrensmentalhealth #selfregulationmasteryblueprint #calmbraincommunity
PARENTS! Did you know that, developmentally speaking, frequent tantrums or moments of deregulation in children under age 5 are appropriate?

Itโs important to keep ourselves calm during these intense (and exhausting!) moments. Wondering how you can help your child regulate their emotions when you struggle to do this for yourself? Iโve got you! Comment โBIG FEELINGSโ below for my free resource created for parents struggling to soothe their emotionally dysregulated child.
