?? Kids need care that can be catered to their current stage of development and their unique physiological and psychological needs. ?? The Brightline mobile platform is built to provide one-stop access to a wide range of pediatric mental health support, solutions, and care. ???? Our measurement-based outcomes prove the effectiveness of our approach to care; we’re tracking significant emotional and behavioral improvements in kids, along with a reduction in depression, stress, and anxiety in teens and caregivers alike.

Contrary to the medical model of prescribing antibiotics or stitching up a wound, mental health is not simply about "fixing" patients. Therapists can feel pressure from parents or school staff to improve a child’s emotional or behavioral functioning as quickly as possible, but mental health is both a science and an art. It also takes trust and time. In today’s episode, Dr. Matt Zakreski and I talk about how structured approaches and time frames just don’t fit with the flexibility needed when working with neurodivergent kid and teens. We discuss: ??Flexing the structure, timing, and modality of therapy based on a kid’s skill development ??What to expect as parents when your child or teen is in therapy ??How we can empower our kids to take ownership of their mental health journey. Tune in to find out why it's not one size fits all! https://lnkd.in/gJig7V6p Earfluence Matthew Zakreski #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #neurodivergentkids #parentingtips #parentingforconnection #parentingautism #adhdparenting #parentingadhd #autismmom #autismfamily #autismfamilies #teachingkids #elementaryteacher #kindergartenteacher #firstgradeteacher #preschoolteacher #schoolpsych #neurodiverseclassroom

You may not know this, but street children are very vulnerable and highly likely to be victims of trauma and stress! Supporting vulnerable children in coping with trauma and stress is paramount. Here are three essential strategies that you can implement to help children deal and get through trauma and stress: Provide Emotional Support: Create a safe and supportive environment where children feel comfortable expressing their feelings. Empathy and understanding are key to helping them navigate their emotions. Implement Trauma-Informed Care: Adopting trauma-informed practices acknowledges the impact of trauma on a child's development. Understand their triggers, avoid re-traumatization, and use strategies that promote healing. Engage in Therapeutic Activities: Encourage children to participate in therapeutic activities such as art therapy, play therapy, music therapy, or mindfulness exercises. If trauma symptoms persist or worsen, seeking professional help from qualified mental health professionals is crucial. By incorporating these practices, we can provide the necessary support to help vulnerable children heal and thrive. #sccwi #streetchildren #careforchildren #kindness #compassion #empathy #mentalhealth #tgif

?Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week - Day 2? The qualitative findings of Dr. Janet Williams research highlight key areas of distress in young mothers who have experienced childhood trauma. ??????The 1st group theme in the table below relates to their sense of overwhelm being in the world, the 2nd their fragile sense of self as a woman. The 3rd theme captures the conflict of wanting to protect their children so they do not suffer the same adversity, while struggling to manage their own mental health challenges triggered by unresolved historical trauma. The 4th theme reveals the perpetual anguish of attachment trauma playing out in their adult relationships and with their children. And the final theme highlights where the community has or has not met the needs of these women in their passage to adulthood. ?? These findings have helped shape the Trauma Counselling programme offered free of charge to perinatal women who have had Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Please feel free to contact us for further details of the results. ?? More to share tomorrow... #MaternalMentalHealthAwarenessWeek #PerinatalMentalHealth #NorthernIrelandMentalHealth

For children hearing about violence happening across the world from their friends or on TV, it can be difficult for caregivers to know what to say or how to help. "Caregivers don’t have to be experts and shouldn’t be afraid to initiate a conversation with their children. Once the conversation is started, caregivers can help their children brainstorm ways to cope." - BMC Psychiatrist, Christine Crawford, MD, MPH We know that mental health is essential to overall health and well-being. It's why our experts, like Dr. Crawford, provide world-class, compassionate care to uplift our community in Boston and beyond.
