We support parents, too. The U.S. Surgeon General recently released an advisory highlighting the profound stressors facing modern parents. “Parents who feel pushed to the brink deserve more than platitudes. They need tangible support.” Parents, whether they run a house or a corporation, are constantly juggling competing demands of work, self-care, and home-life. We wanted to share a couple of testimonials from parents who are benefiting from working with Galit Higgins, our certified EF coach. “Working with Galit has drastically improved my self-confidence. Her style is collaborative and non-judgmental and through our work together (we meet weekly for 30 minutes with two 15 minute check-ins) I’ve started creating specific goals and following through. I can see a clear “before and after” difference and so can my wife since I’m now completing the tasks on her lists. She asks, ‘When are you seeing Galit this week?’” Students also need EF skills. Here are some reflections from students: “I met with Galit twice a week to keep me accountable and help me stay on top of my long-term commitments. As an overwhelmed, ADHD college student, I kept procrastinating about finding a summer internship, but Galit, in her kind, friendly, and approachable way, helped me to break it down step by step and stay on task. Without her support, I would never have gotten my summer internship or applied to my study abroad program in time.” “Galit teaches me how to keep a planner and keep track of my due dates. I still sometimes turn things in late, but she never makes me feel bad and I’m definitely getting better. Also, there is less fighting with my parents about it!” Galit helps her clients identify priorities, set achievable goals, and execute a plan of action while tailoring researched-based approaches to the needs of each.

#EVENTHELEARNERSNEEDOPPORTUNITIES Everyone is posting on LinkedIn these days regarding the services of psychologists, and they are being urged not to charge for their services, which is untrue; you have to ask, you have to speak up for your rights, and you have to stand up for them. However, despite being the victim and a psychotherapist, one still turn out to be that woozy person who is genuinely self-centered and money-minded in every situation. Well aware of the criticism this industry receives, many who are unable to succeed in their true career path ultimately turn to asking for internships as a means of earning money. For students in particular, an internship is a brief period of professional learning that is sandwiched between two semesters of coursework. Nobody offers services that are affordable for even interns. Naturally, the person seeking assistance would also approach the experienced provider; but, in this case, as in many other sectors, experience is not free. If you ask for advice, they charge a lot, so it's not easy for everyone to pay for even a minute discussion (students especially not the person seeking actual assistance). However, in order to prevent fake scams, you can ask for identification proof or something similar, at least for students, they are at the stage of learning, not paying, they need opportunities to avail and earn, what's the benefit of paying and buying the opportunities. For students, at least, the opportunity to access it should be made available, and every effort should be made to make it as affordable as possible. Each and every one of us wants to dispel the stigma associated with mental health and increase awareness of it so that everyone may do the same. What better way to begin this by giving the learners, the future psychologist the access to the opportunities and information they need, after which we can all join forces to finish this journey?

With no licensing body in Pakistan, aspiring and trainee psychologists are struggling to enter the field. With minimal training and guidance from universities, many find themselves lost, unable to navigate their way, or even end up switching fields entirely. Even securing internships often requires students to pay out of their own pockets, and most of what they learn is basic history taking, with no real hands-on experience. The lack of supervision and guidance from senior professionals leaves students feeling abandoned, pushing some toward quack courses offered by unqualified individuals like Anum Gardezi. Comment with credible institutions that provide proper training and certifications in CBT and other therapeutic approaches, without charging outrageous fees like 100k for a three-day course. It's time for the psychology community in Pakistan to raise the standards and provide genuine learning opportunities for our future mental health professionals. #PsychologyInPakistan #MentalHealthTraining #CBTCertification #AffordablePsychologyCourses #MentalHealthProfessionals #PsychologyInternships #ProfessionalGrowth #TherapeuticSkills #CBTTraining #MentalHealthAwareness #PakistanMentalHealth #PsychologyStudents #MentalHealthAdvocacy

An aspired childhood educator Throughout my internship, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to teach children, which provided me with valuable hands-on experience in the field. This experience is incredibly valuable, as it allows me to apply the theories and concepts I've learned about child development in a practical setting. As an aspiring childhood educator, I understand the importance of fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment for children. I recognize that every child is unique and has their own individual needs and learning styles. With my knowledge of child development, I can tailor my teaching approach to meet the specific needs of each child, ensuring that they receive the best possible education and support. my internship experience has likely exposed me to various age groups and diverse backgrounds, which has further enhanced my understanding of the different developmental stages and challenges children may face. This exposure has also allowed me to develop communication skills, patience, and adaptability etc, which are crucial qualities for working with children effectively. In addition to my academic knowledge and internship experience, I have also gained insights into classroom management techniques, curriculum development, and assessment strategies. These skills will enables me to create engaging lesson plans, implement effective teaching strategies, and monitor the progress of each child. Education is a dynamic field, and ongoing professional development will ensure that I can provide the highest quality education and support to the children under my care. With my passion, knowledge, and practical experience, I am on a journey to making a positive impact in the lives of children as a childhood educator. my dedication to their growth, development, and well-being will undoubtedly contribute to shaping their futures in a meaningful way. #pomotechildeducation #Buildpositiveimpact #Childpsychology

Have you ever felt frustrated with our education system? As a clinical psychology student, I wonder, what if a client disagrees with my therapy suggestion? ?? What if I’m the only one talking during a session and my client stays silent? ?? Some might say, “Do internships; you’ll learn eventually.” ?? But wouldn’t it be better if these skills were taught in class, especially since we pay so much for our degrees? ???? Our education system needs to be more practical. ???? What changes do you think are needed? ?? #EducationReform #PracticalLearning #PsychologyStudent

When I was in the process of selecting my internship placement, I knew I didn’t want to do two things: Provide therapy Work with children However, after many conversations about my goals and aspirations for the future, every single person I spoke to encouraged me to work with children which was hard to digest. I was so passionate about practicing social work in a law enforcement capacity so that’s all I envisioned myself doing. One of my advisors told me, “Ezri, you are not paying a million dollars and one cent (thanks Michigan tuition) to have an internship experience that you’ve already done.” This meant the only thing left for me to explore was working with children. As a Therapy Intern at CARE House of Oakland County, I have learned 5 major things I would like to share: 1. Sessions get messy & that's okay. A mess means progress is being made and their creativity is being explored. The mess can be cleaned. 2. Things that pain my soul may be healing for them. For example, mixing Play-Doh colors together or putting stickers that spell a word in the wrong order. Yet, putting my feelings about it aside so they can exercise control in the play room. 3. Non-directive play feels like a waste of time, but it is not. Allowing children to self-regulate as often as they need to will never be a waste of time. I constantly have to remind myself of this. 4. Yes, being a social worker can be sad and emotionally draining at times, but I choose to look at this work from a positive perspective. Three days a week, I have the privilege of seeing and hearing children laughing and playing, witnessing the process of picking the perfect stuffed animal to bring home with them, or watching them dig through the candy bowl to grab a treat on their way out. 4a. Meeting kids where they’re at means I often take on roles of sous chef, food critic, copy cat, detective, or opponent. My willing participation in these roles, however, does not mean I will tolerate BBQ sauce on my brownie, grapes and blueberries on my pizzas, and it definitely does not mean I wanted to let my client win in our board game (seriously, I was so close to winning.) But, I have enjoyed being in these roles for them. 5. Children are more resilient than we give them credit for. I think we fall victim to getting bogged down by learning about trauma work in the classroom and through trainings that we forget what being a child is like. Something I remind parents of frequently is that in the future, their child likely won’t remember everything that was said throughout this process, but they will remember how they felt during this time. I tell parents that their child will remember how they felt believed, supported, and cared for. We need to remember that by teaching and demonstrating skills early on, we are setting up children up to have the necessary coping and emotional regulation skills to be resilient in the future.
