In today’s fast-paced world, mental well-being has taken center stage as individuals across the globe seek ways to cope with stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. In Canada, there has been a significant movement towards making mental health resources more affordable and accessible through Affordable Virtual Counselling in Canada. This trend is not just a fleeting response to the challenges of recent times but a sustainable approach to mental health care.
The Rise of Virtual Counselling: A New Era in Therapy
The adaptation of virtual counselling therapy services has seen an unprecedented rise, especially amidst the aftermath of the global pandemic. It provides a flexible, convenient, and comfortable way for individuals to seek help without the need to travel or rearrange their schedules significantly. Furthermore, it offers a sense of anonymity, which can be crucial for those hesitant about seeking therapy.
Exploring the Benefits of Online Relationship Therapy
Online relationship therapy has become a cornerstone for couples looking to strengthen their connections or address conflicts meaningfully. Supported by relationship counselling experts, individuals and couples can now access top-notch services from the comfort of their own homes. Such sessions have been instrumental in revitalizing partnerships and fostering better communication and understanding.
Comprehensive Support: From Grief Therapy to Professional Life Coaching
In addition to relationship counseling, platforms offering grief therapy and support have become invaluable for those dealing with loss. These sessions provide critical guidance and empathetic support, helping individuals navigate the complex process of grief in a safe and supportive space.
Professional life coaching and mentoring services in Canada are also gaining popularity. They offer individuals focused support on their personal and professional journeys, helping them unlock their potential and achieve their life goals. These structured sessions are designed to empower clients by enhancing their skills, confidence, and career prospects.
Making Therapy Accessible: Affordable Therapy Solutions
The overarching goal of these offerings is to democratize access to mental health care, making it available to a broader audience. This trend towards affordable therapy solutions is reshaping the landscape of mental health in Canada, providing people with resources that were once considered a luxury.
With platforms such as Affordable Virtual Counselling in Canada, individuals can find the help they need without financial pressure, ensuring that mental healthcare is within reach for everyone.
As this approach continues to gain traction, it signifies a progressive shift towards holistic well-being, inclusivity, and the breaking down of barriers that previously hindered equitable access to mental health services. With affordable and accessible therapy options readily available, Canadians are more empowered than ever to lead healthier, happier lives. |

About this Event
About Lecture
This presentation will discuss recent findings regarding the effectiveness of mindfulness training to strengthen attention and well-being in high stress/high demand environments. A growing literature finds that protracted periods of high stress degrade cognitive functioning and psychological health, which can lead to performance lapses that can be consequential. Our research involving a broad range of groups, such as military servicemembers, elite athletes, business professionals, medical and nursing students, and others has found that attention, working memory, and mood improve with mindfulness-based interventions. Based on these findings, I argue that mindfulness training programs should be further offered and investigated in such settings.
About Speaker
Dr. Amishi Jha, PhD is Director of Contemplative Neuroscience and Professor of Psychology at the University of Miami. Prior to her current post, she was an Assistant Professor at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania. She received her B.S in Biological Psychology from the University of Michigan, her Ph.D in Psychology (Cognitive Neuroscience) from the University of California–Davis, and her post-doctoral training at the Brain Imaging and Analysis Center at Duke University in functional neuroimaging.
With grants from the Department of Defense and several private foundations, she leads research on the neural bases of attention and the effects of mindfulness-based training programs on cognition, emotion, resilience, and performance in education, corporate, elite sports, first-responder, and military contexts.
In her laboratory at the University of Miami, she uses functional MRI, electrophysiological recordings and behavioral analysis techniques to understand why our attention sometimes fails us, and if it can be trained for greater focus and less distractibility. She launched the first-ever study to offer mindfulness training tools to active duty military service members as they prepared for deployment. What she has discovered is that without intervention, attention is compromised, and attentional lapses increase. Yet, with mindfulness training, attention can be strengthened and protected.
In addition to her own published body of research, her work has been featured in many outlets including TED.com, NPR, and Mindful Magazine. In addition, she has been invited to present her work to NATO, the UK Parliament, the Pentagon, and at the World Economic Forum. In her forthcoming book, Peak Mind (Harper Collins, 2021), she shares her discoveries on how attention can be trained for optimal performance and well being.

When Social Media Fails: How to Stay Healthy During Facebook’s Downtime
Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. It has changed the way we communicate, connect, and consume information. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat have allowed us to stay connected with friends and family, share our thoughts and experiences, and discover new ideas and perspectives. However, social media also has its downsides, including its impact on our mental health.
Key Takeaways
- Social media has a significant impact on our lives.
- Facebook downtime can negatively affect our mental health.
- Taking a break from social media has numerous benefits.
- Exploring alternative social platforms can help us connect in different ways.
- Face-to-face communication is crucial for building stronger relationships.
The Reality of Facebook’s Downtime: How It Affects Our Mental Health
Facebook’s recent downtime highlighted our dependence on social media. During the outage, many people felt a sense of panic and anxiety as they were unable to access their accounts and connect with others. This dependence on social media can have a negative impact on our mental health. Studies have shown that excessive social media use is linked to depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
One reason for this is the constant comparison that occurs on social media. People often present an idealized version of their lives, showcasing only the highlights and positive moments. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and comparison, as we compare our own lives to the seemingly perfect lives of others. Additionally, social media can be a breeding ground for negativity and cyberbullying, further impacting our mental well-being.
Disconnecting from Social Media: The Benefits of Taking a Break
Taking a break from social media can have numerous benefits for our mental health. It allows us to disconnect from the constant noise and distractions of the online world and focus on ourselves and our well-being. By stepping away from social media, we can reduce stress, improve our mental health, and increase productivity.
When we take a break from social media, we have more time to engage in activities that bring us joy and fulfillment. We can spend quality time with loved ones, pursue hobbies and interests, or simply relax and recharge. By disconnecting from social media, we can also reconnect with the real world and build stronger relationships. Face-to-face interactions are essential for building deep connections and fostering a sense of belonging.
Finding Alternative Ways to Connect: Exploring Other Social Platforms
While social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram dominate the online landscape, there are many other social platforms that can be used to connect with others. These platforms may offer a different experience and may be less overwhelming than traditional social media.
LinkedIn, for example, is a professional networking platform that allows users to connect with colleagues, industry professionals, and potential employers. It can be a valuable tool for building professional relationships and advancing your career. Meetup is another platform that allows users to find like-minded individuals and join groups based on shared interests and hobbies. This can be a great way to meet new people and expand your social circle.
By exploring alternative social platforms, we can find communities that align with our interests and values, allowing us to connect with others in a more meaningful way.
The Importance of Face-to-Face Communication: Building Stronger Relationships
While social media has made it easier than ever to connect with others, face-to-face communication is still essential for building strong relationships. In-person interactions allow us to connect on a deeper level, build trust, and truly understand one another.
When we communicate face-to-face, we can pick up on nonverbal cues and emotions that are often lost in online communication. We can see the expressions on someone’s face, hear the tone of their voice, and observe their body language. This allows for a more nuanced understanding of one another and fosters empathy and connection.
Additionally, face-to-face communication allows for real-time feedback and immediate resolution of conflicts or misunderstandings. It promotes active listening and encourages us to be fully present in the conversation. By prioritizing face-to-face communication, we can build stronger relationships and cultivate a sense of belonging and connection.
Avoiding the Comparison Trap: Managing Social Media-Induced Anxiety
One of the biggest challenges of social media is the constant comparison that occurs. It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing our lives to the highlight reels of others, leading to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. To manage social media-induced anxiety, it’s important to recognize these feelings and take steps to manage them.
One strategy is to limit social media use. Set boundaries for yourself and designate specific times when you will engage with social media. This can help prevent mindless scrolling and reduce the likelihood of falling into the comparison trap.
Another strategy is to unfollow accounts that make you feel inadequate or trigger negative emotions. Curate your social media feed to include accounts that inspire and uplift you. Focus on following accounts that align with your values and interests, and that promote positivity and well-being.
Lastly, practicing gratitude can help shift your mindset away from comparison and towards appreciation for what you have. Take time each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for, whether it’s your health, relationships, or personal achievements. By focusing on gratitude, you can cultivate a more positive mindset and reduce social media-induced anxiety.
Prioritizing Self-Care: Nurturing Your Mental and Emotional Wellbeing
Self-care is essential for maintaining good mental and emotional health, especially in the age of social media. It’s important to prioritize self-care and make it a regular part of our routine.
Self-care can take many forms, depending on your individual preferences and needs. It can include activities such as exercise, meditation, journaling, spending time in nature, or engaging in creative pursuits. The key is to find activities that bring you joy and help you relax and recharge.
By prioritizing self-care, you are sending a message to yourself that your mental health and well-being are important. It allows you to take a step back from the constant demands of social media and focus on nurturing yourself.
Utilizing Productivity Tools: Maximizing Your Time Offline
In a world that is constantly connected, it can be challenging to disconnect from social media and maximize our time offline. However, there are many productivity tools that can help us stay focused, manage our time, and reduce distractions.
Time-blocking is a technique that involves scheduling specific blocks of time for different activities. By allocating dedicated time for tasks such as work, exercise, hobbies, and socializing, you can ensure that you are making the most of your time offline.
The Pomodoro technique is another productivity tool that can help you stay focused and manage your time effectively. It involves working in short bursts of intense focus, followed by short breaks. This can help prevent burnout and increase productivity.
Additionally, there are digital detox apps available that can help you reduce your screen time and limit your access to social media. These apps allow you to set specific time limits for social media use and provide reminders when you have reached your limit.
By utilizing productivity tools, you can maximize your time offline and create a healthy balance between social media and other aspects of your life.
Embracing the Present Moment: Mindfulness Techniques for a Healthier Mindset
Mindfulness is a powerful tool for reducing stress and improving mental health. It involves being present in the moment and focusing on our thoughts and feelings without judgment.
There are many mindfulness techniques that can be practiced to cultivate a healthier mindset. Meditation is one of the most well-known mindfulness practices and involves sitting quietly and focusing on your breath or a specific point of focus. This can help calm the mind, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.
Deep breathing exercises are another mindfulness technique that can be practiced anywhere, at any time. By taking slow, deep breaths and focusing on your breath as it enters and leaves your body, you can activate the body’s relaxation response and reduce stress.
Body scans are another mindfulness technique that involves bringing awareness to different parts of your body, noticing any sensations or tension, and consciously releasing any tension or discomfort. This can help you become more attuned to your body and reduce physical and mental stress.
By embracing mindfulness techniques, you can cultivate a healthier mindset and reduce the negative impact of social media on your mental health.
The Road to Recovery: How to Reintegrate Social Media into Your Life in a Healthy Way
If you decide to reintegrate social media into your life after taking a break, it’s important to do so in a healthy way. This means setting boundaries, limiting use, and focusing on positive interactions.
Set boundaries for yourself around social media use. Determine how much time you are willing to spend on social media each day and stick to it. Consider using apps or features that track your screen time and provide reminders when you have reached your limit.
Limit your exposure to negative content and interactions. Unfollow accounts that promote negativity or trigger negative emotions. Focus on following accounts that inspire and uplift you, and that align with your values and interests.
Lastly, focus on positive interactions and meaningful connections. Use social media as a tool for staying connected with loved ones, sharing your thoughts and experiences, and discovering new ideas and perspectives. Avoid mindless scrolling and engage with content that brings value to your life.
It’s important to prioritize your mental health and well-being above all else. If at any point social media becomes overwhelming or negatively impacts your mental health, don’t hesitate to take a step back and reassess your relationship with it. Remember that you have the power to control how social media affects your life, and it’s up to you to create a healthy balance.

May is Mental Health Awareness month, and here at the Broadway Husbands Podcast, we want to share our own mental health journeys with you- to do our small part to stop the stigma once and for all!
In this episode, we shed light on our struggles with addition, depression, and attention deficit disorder. Since sobriety is a bond we both share- and the thing that allowed us to meet in the first place- we’ve always felt comfort in being honest and transparent with one another about our emotions. And since mental health issues shift over our lifetimes, when you are married, you often have a glimpse into your partner’s childhood and adolescence and see things they hide from the rest of the world. We have become each other’s biggest cheerleaders in our quest for mental well-being. Developing a safe space for big feelings at home has been key for us.
In addition to therapy (which we HIGHLY recommend!) we also reconnect with our bodies by taking deep breaths, reading, and doing one small thing every day- like making your bed- to look back on as an accomplishment. And there are so many resources to help if you’re ever in need. We love the Actors Fund (theactorsfund.org) and all the ways they help performers in all walks of life.
We’ve been watching The Me You Can’t See on Apple+ and have been loving it! Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry discuss mental health issues as a whole, and share their personal journeys with wellness. What tv shows, movies, books, and podcasts are your favorite? We’d love to hear from you!

With decades of working with families and children behind her, Mia Adamidou is creating a school for parents and parents-to-be.
Systemic Psychotherapist Mia Adamidou owns a space called Inner Flow, a holistic wellness meeting point where she works one-on-one with clients as well as organizing a variety of workshops featuring her own teachings and those of leading therapists from abroad. Beyond its urban-chic and elegant surroundings, the space feels highly professional and deeply comforting at once, and it’s not by chance, because the person who owns and runs it has those qualities herself.
“Systemic Psychotherapy is not to be confused with Bert Hellinger’s Systemic Constellation work,” she tells me. “It is field of Psychotherapy as Psychoanalysis, Rogerian, Gestalt and so on. We focus first on the person- the client – connecting their mind, body, spirit, and then all the ripple circles around that individual such as the immediate family, friends, colleagues and neighbours, and going all the way to the universe. We work on the stories, family patterns, trans -generational schemes, the perceptions & imprints on all levels. It’s important to be in the here and now, so in systemic therapy we always connect to the past by bringing it to the present in a meaningful, transformational way.”
Since 2006 she has worked a lot with both children and youths as well as adults, with Inner Child work being one of her core areas of interest. Thus, it seems inevitable that she is now setting up The ‘Wisdoms Keeper’s’ Academy for Parents, which is a school for parents with lessons on specific issues. Parents will learn about caring for, supporting, empowering, mastering emotional intelligence and enhancing the inner beauty strength and all potential their children have. The courses will be both practical and theoretical, with experiential workshops that will work to support both women and men, young and old, who want to become parents and those who are already.
“The Academy will simultaneously focus on the inner work and growth of the parents and aim to resolve their own childhood issues. It will introduce alternative ways to parenting through InnerChild workshops, body work and other tried and tested techniques,” she says. “We will bridge the old and wise ways of our ancestors along with the new ways that are of a higher vibration. We will aim to embrace a more humanitarian consciousness based on trust, integrity, diversity and freedom from all that has held us in fixed positions and norms.”
As a Family / Couple therapist who has worked with parents, children and family systems in the public and private sector in Greece in the fields of therapy, prevention, education, community building & counseling, Adamidou feels it’s high time to direct her expertise into this new initiative. “I hope that along with other collaborators, we can help make this world better for the new generation of children and leave them a legacy we all can be proud of. I will continue working as I do from 1997 with one-to-ones and family therapy but will launch the Academy with an organized programme. There will be courses and workshops running from this new season 2020-2021 that will be held in small groups at InnerFlow but also online for Greek people as well as English speakers.”
The Wisdom Keeper’s Parents Academy aims to provide parents or parents to be with the opportunity to choose from various programmes – part-time or full time training, or independent courses. “For those following the whole Academy there will be exams, projects , presentations that will be shared in the larger community of InnerFlow,” she says.
“These will include Creative Arts performances at the end of the semesters that will present what they have learned and lived and transformed. Through this philosophy of sharing I hope to make more people interested in joining this new way of expressing who we truly are; to truly help each other be genuine, living with clarity, openly giving and supporting each other. I will do whatever it takes to make things better for the new generation, to stand beside them, hold the light for their wisdom to come forth. I also hope to inspire others to embrace this mentality and realize such “bridges” and co creations for our world overall.”

Cancer care wellness plans are simply the starting point for helping people who have cancer following treatment to get and remain healthy.

It introduces the notion of cancer survivorship to clients receiving active cancer treatment while promoting health, reducing strain and fatigue, and preparing clients for life after cancer therapy. The cancer care health plans do all this through education targeted at nutrition, exercise, stress management, and smoking cessation.
Clients receive counseling about the long-term advantages of lifestyle modifications in an attempt to create well-equipped cancer survivors. Exercise classes, dietary advice and guided imagery classes, yoga, massage, meditation, acupuncture, and other therapies can help.

important in treating cancer, and a comprehensive evaluation or “complete

Kids that are really impulsive can learn to develop that pause between stimulus and reaction. Then you have the skills to realize when you’re angry, when you feel stress arising, and begin to strengthen the skills to de-escalate yourself.

President's Message
It is with immense pleasure that we extend our cordial invitation to the 31st Emirates Society Mental Health International Congress, scheduled to take place from September 20 to 21, 2024 at the Conrad Hotel, Dubai, UAE. As we delve into the critical intersection of "Mental Health & Artificial Intelligence," our organizing and scientific committee is enthusiastic about the prospect of welcoming you to this prestigious event.
Under the theme "Cognitive, Behaviour & Emotional," our previous congress on September 30 – October 1, 2023, highlighted the integral role that emotions, behavior, and cognition play in the human psyche. Understanding the interconnectedness of these intrapsychic processes is crucial, as shifts in one aspect inevitably influence the others.
Recognizing these dynamics is pivotal in comprehending the impact on cognitive function and the learning process. In light of this, our upcoming congress will explore the evolving landscape of mental health, delving into the transformative influence of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence technology holds both great promises to transform mental healthcare and potential pitfalls.
We are proud to present an attractive program featuring up-to-the-minute topics, including special training workshops, learning sessions, presentations, debates, special symposiums, a dedicated session for young psychiatrists, and Arabic sessions. Renowned specialists will lead meet the expert sessions, sharing their insights on the latest advancements, and techniques, and addressing hotly argued topics in the field of artificial intelligence in the mental health.
The congress provides a unique opportunity for professionals from around the globe to convene and exchange the latest knowledge and experiences. We eagerly anticipate your participation in person, fostering meaningful connections and contributing to the advancement of science. Dubai, a vibrant jewel in the heart of the United Arab Emirates, serves as our host city— embodies the epitome of modernity, ambition, and limitless possibilities.
We look forward to the privilege of your presence at this groundbreaking event, as we collectively explore the dynamic interplay between mental health and artificial intelligence.
Sincerely,
Dr. Samia Alkhoori

May is Mental Health Month!
Happy May everyone. May finds us again in National Mental Health Month. Here are some highlights that I have discovered to spur on some big or small observances of this very important state of being.
Mental Health America has, as usual, loads of information for someone who may be in a stuck place, where to seek help, quizzes to gauge severity or presence of things like depression or anxiety.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) also has a very valuable website full of resources and information for the public as well as professionals.
Regular readers will recognize the next link. PBS’s “This Emotional Life” has created a unique and useful resource full of information regarding tough topics like PTSD, autism, adolescence and parenting to name a few. MFT3 is proud to be listed among the providers in the Resources section of the site.
But on a lighter note, I have discovered some atypical mental health related days or remembrances for the month of May.
For some fun yet obvious ideas, there is Hug week (May 2-8), Meditation week (May 2-8), Teen self-esteem week is also the same week. May 16-22 is Celebrate New and Old Friends week.
There is a theme of literacy in May, it is “Get Caught Reading” month as well as Read for Fun week (May 9-15) and Childrens’ Book week (May 10-16). You could read about mental health.
I found a bunch of food related themes, too. It is National Barbecue month, as well as designating specific days dedicated to celebrating hamburgers, salad, salsa, eggs, sweet vidalia onions and bread pudding recipe exchange week. Yum. To this we can add in May 6 as No Diet Day and May 11 as Eat What You Want day, followed closely by the fun-filled May 15: The Day of Families, Pizza parties and Chocolate Chips. I sense a theme here…
Oooh, speaking of chocolate chips, that leads me to my favorite day so far: May 25, Cookie Monster’s Birthday (voice Frank Oz).
Cookie Monster should also make an appearance on May 5 for the Great American Grump Out day festivities, to help out Oscar the Grouch a bit?
And to end the month on a full yet thoughtful note, May 31 reminds us that “What You Think Upon Grows” day. I use this philosophy often with clients; that if our thoughts are centered on what’s missing, then what’s missing, by definition, will have to expand.
I wish you all a month of good mental health, however you choose to create it!

Personal coping strategies and investment in mental health infrastructure is needed to help us through the pandemic.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people around the world with ill mental health was staggering.
According to the latest estimates, close to one billion people have a mental disorder such as depression or anxiety.
With the continuing pandemic, and the health and economic consequences becoming increasingly apparent, concern for our mental health, both now and in the future, is growing.
Fear and anxiety have increased
Although we do not yet have a complete picture of how the pandemic has affected people’s mental health, and indeed this picture will change over time, it is clear that the impact is widespread.
As the infection spread throughout the world, so did fear – of being infected or becoming ill ourselves, and of seeing family and friends affected.
Anxiety levels have gone up too as our daily routines changed substantially, as we tried to balance our work lives with home-schooling, and as our access to care for other health conditions became more difficult. This is to say nothing of the isolation felt by people living alone or without regular contact with their usual networks.
As the months have gone on, and many of us have been able to return to some semblance of a normal life, some of the initial worry and anxiety has eased. But this is by no means universal and questions remain: When will this be over? Will I be able to keep my job? If I lose my job, will I be able to find another?
What we can do to protect our mental health
We know that a hug cannot be replaced by hours of video conferencing. Physical contact is essential for human beings. But we are in the unique and unprecedented position of having to sacrifice some of the things we would typically do to stay safe.
Fortunately, there is much that we can do to protect our mental health during these uncertain times.
1. Have a routine: Keep up with daily routines as much as possible, or make new ones. Get up and go to bed at similar times every day. Keep up with personal hygiene. Eat healthy meals at regular times. Exercise regularly. Allocate time for working and time for resting and make time for doing things you enjoy.
2. Stay in touch: Social contact is important. Keep in regular contact with people close to you by telephone and online channels if you cannot see them in person. Even if it is just talking to a neighbour over the fence or across the balcony, the social contact can help you stay connected to the people around you and feel part of a community. Help or support others in your community, too, if you can.
3. Avoid alcohol and drugs: Limit the amount of alcohol you drink or do not drink alcohol at all. Do not start drinking alcohol if you have not done so before. Avoid using alcohol and drugs as a way of dealing with fear, anxiety, boredom and social isolation.
4. Minimise newsfeeds and screen time: Stay informed about what is happening, but restrict the amount of time you spend checking on the latest news if it makes you feel anxious. Check in once or twice a day. Be aware of how much time you spend in front of a screen every day. Make sure that you take regular breaks from on-screen activities. Use your social media accounts to promote positive and hopeful stories and correct misinformation wherever you see it.
5. Reach out when you need help: Talk to someone you trust. If you feel overwhelmed with sadness or anxiety, seek professional help.
More investment needed
On average, governments spend less than 2 percent of their health budgets on mental health. This is not enough.
Relatively few people around the world have access to quality mental health services. In low- and middle-income countries, more than 75 percent of people with mental health conditions receive no treatment for their condition at all. The serious gaps that still exist in mental healthcare are a result of chronic under-investment over many decades in mental health promotion, prevention and care.
Now is the time to redress the balance and scale up investment in mental health, at all levels. Our futures depend on it. |

Truth always rests with the minority,

(when it is evident that the minority is the stronger)
assume its opinion... while truth again reverts to a new minority.
- Soren Kierkegaard
All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle,

I want to share with you the three rules
that I have in order to accept an apprentice.
Rule Number 1: Don't believe me.
I don't want you to believe me
but I want you to listen and make choices - your choices.
If what I say, doesn't work for you, leave it.
But if it works for you and that's what you want, then make it yours.
Rule Number 2: Don't believe yourself.
Why? Because most of your belief system is a lie - it's not true.
And by believing yourself, you create all the limitations
that don't allow you to be what you really are.
Don't believe yourself. Listen to what you say,
listen to what you think, listen to what you believe.
And when you listen, open your ears, open your mind,
open your intelligence and make choices.
Rule 3 is, don't believe anybody else.
Don't believe them at all.
Open your ears and your mind; listen and make choices.
- don Miguel Ruiz
Do to others as you would have them do to you.

means to us in everyday life

a false front for the urge to rule.
- H. L. Mencken
In individuals, insanity is rare;
but in groups, parties, nations and epochs,
it is the rule.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Who made the rule that life has to be so serious?
One would think that "life is serious" had been engraved
upon stone tablets to judge from how most lives are lived.
Get a life, smile broadly, sing loudly,
paint your rooms in bold colors,
search every rabbit hole for a magical white bunny,
have caviar for breakfast and oatmeal for dinner,
wear a purple coat with a red hat - dance lightly with life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The older I get, the more wisdom I find
in the ancient rule of taking first things first.
A process which often reduces
the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower

I just want to do God's will.
And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight, that we,
as a people, will get to the promised land.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
A person without a sense of humor

Myth: Depression and Anxiety aren’t real – they can be solved by thinking more positively or being more successful
Fact: Mental health problems are real medical conditions, and have diagnostic criteria that medical doctors and psychologists use to make these diagnoses. The biology of depression and anxiety is complex – but it is now well understood that there are differences present in levels of certain brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) then when they are present.
Positive thinking can help as part of treatments like mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), but most often, more support is required. Recovery from mental health problems is often called a long journey of self-discovery
Myth: People who are mentally strong don’t experience mental health problems
Fact: Anyone can experience a mental health problem – at least 1 in 5 Canadians annually. Not everyone will experience a mental health problem for their whole lives, sometimes circumstances can lead to symptom development, when none were there before.
Myth: It’s best not to talk about mental health
Fact: The complete opposite is true. When people are reluctant to talk about mental health in general, those experiencing symptoms will be more likely to feel shame and stigma, and be less likely to reach out for help. Help is effective.
Myth: Antidepressants aren’t natural, I can manage on my own
Fact: This is sometimes true, and depends on each individual circumstance. However, it is important to know that even if someone does go to a doctor, medications are only one of many treatment options available. Most often, over time, people will find their own mix of things that work for them to live life as symptom free as possible – which may or not include medication. Antidepressants work by changing the availability and use of naturally occurring brain chemicals.
Myth: Depression and anxiety are problems only adults have – kids have nothing to worry about
Fact: Many mental health problems, including depression and anxiety, commonly show signs in childhood and adolescence. Schizophrenia almost always shows signs in adolescence. All of these symptoms are easily dismissed as being “normal teenage behaviour”, but early intervention improves recovery.
Myth: It’s normal to feel depression and anxiety – it’s just part of life.
Fact: Feeling sad and anxious are feelings we will all feel at some point in our lives. However, if these feelings are persistent and impact quality of life or ability to do things one would otherwise enjoy, effective help is available. |

playinoffice_com__p_200 | mental_wellness | Taking care of yourself can be a much harder task than we think; it requires the right attitude and the right techniques. When it comes to self-care, many of us often think of a spa day, bubble baths, and luxurious nights out. However, the art of self-care goes much deeper than that. In this article, we will explore how to nurture mind, body, and soul through several methods of self-care and how these practices can result in true peace and revitalization.
1. Unearth the Power of Self-Care
Discover the Remarkable Benefits of Self-Care
As modern life is becoming increasingly hectic and demanding, self-care is becoming a more important part of our daily lives. Self-Care is a powerful practice that can have major benefits on both your physical and mental health.
By taking the time to look after yourself, you’re taking control of how you take care of yourself and how you manage your life. It encourages self-awareness and allows you to live in the present moment. Here are some amazing advantages of self-care :
- Increases resilience in the face of life’s challenges
- Improves mental health
- Promotes positive body image and self-esteem
- Reduces stress, anxiety and fatigue
Self-care doesn’t have to involve a huge amount of time or money, it can simply be a few moments of reflection for yourself each day, or a few breaths to reset your body and mind. It’s an immensely powerful tool that can help you feel better, cope better with hard times, and achieve a healthier lifestyle.
By taking proactive steps to our physical, mental and emotional health, we can start to lead better, more fulfilled lives. From basic things like eating healthy, getting enough sleep and exercise, all the way through to trying something new, doing something fun or taking up a new hobby, there are simple and enjoyable ways to look after ourselves.
2. Cultivate a Mindful Mindset
Having a mindful mindset is key to your well-being. Mindfulness allows us to be present in the moment and accept our thoughts and feelings without judgement. When we take the time to practice mindful meditation, we can cultivate a greater sense of who we are and create a more positive perspective on the world.
Be Fully Present
Spend some time each day to take a few moments to become aware of our surroundings. Spend a few minutes to clear your mind and take in your environment. Focus on things that we can see, feel, taste, smell, and hear. Notice the thoughts that arise and allow them to pass without judgment. Find some time to practice mindfulness every day.
Recognize Thoughts & Feelings
It can be helpful to pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judgment. Allow ourselves space to observe our thoughts and feelings without judging or clinging to them. Acknowledge that they are passing and gently move on to the present moment.
Savor the Little Things
Appreciate the little moments in life. Notice the beauty in the world and find joy in the small things. Take some time to savor the moments throughout the day and be grateful for what we have. Appreciate the positive experiences and gain insight into what makes us feel fulfilled.
- Be Fully Present
- Recognize Thoughts & Feelings
- Savor the Little Things
3. Strengthen the Bond with Your Body
The result of a strong mind-body connection is the treatment of physical ailments and the understanding of emotions, thoughts, and feelings. To achieve a better link, you should focus on focusing on your mental and physical balance.
1. Take Time for Reflection
Take the time to pause, reflect and be mindful. Reflecting on how you feel offers an essential window into the way bodily sensations activate emotions. Slow down and realize how deeply connected your body and mind really are.
2. Tune into Physical Patterns
Observe the signals your body gives and take note of the uneasy feelings. Be attentive to the contraction of muscles in your arms, shoulders, and legs when your body experiences stress due to tension. Take a few full breaths, loosen your limbs, and intervene with a note of kindness.
3. Move Beyond the Comfort Zone
Experiment with new activities, ranging from yoga to effortless walks. Find the activity that brings you the most joy and devote yourself to it.
- Adapt exercise to broadening the range of your motions.
- Immerse yourself in mindfulness practice.
- Think of a phrase, sound, or mantra that best conveys your emotions.
Reconnecting with your body depends on figuring out its needs. The more you focus on it, the more it will reward you with the feeling of fulfillment.
4. Rejuvenate Your Spirit
Destress through Movement
When feeling overwhelmed, your body and mind may not be able to relax as much as you’d like. Moving your body can help reduce stress levels and help you re-energize. Even a small practice like light stretching can help you relax and rejuvenate. Some easily accessible activities to get physically active and reduce stress include:
- Going for a brisk walk or jog
- Practicing yoga
- Getting involved in team sports
- Dancing
Regardless of the activity you choose, making mental breaks a priority will help you refocus and come back to your tasks energized.
Focus on Positive Thoughts
After a long day of work, it’s easy to focus on the negative. But allowing your worries and doubts to take up space in your mind will not help you revive. Instead, focus on what makes you feel good and the blessings you have in life. Positive thoughts focus on internal motivation and confidence, which can be key to rejuvenating your spirit and achieving your goals.
Create a Healthy Routine
Creating a routine that includes activities that feed your spirit can help you handle stress better. Take a few minutes each day to dedicate to yourself and your passions to set yourself up for success. Incorporating activities like journaling, knitting, art, reading, or anything else that brings you joy, can make a world of difference in how you take on each day.
We hope this has aided you in understanding the importance of self-care and how to successfully practice it. While self-care can sometimes feel like a reward for a job well done, don’t forget that it’s essential for creating a healthy and balanced lifestyle. So nurture your mind, body, and soul, and take the time to put yourself first. |

A Mental Health Break
From Burnout to Connecting with her Inner Truth with Jennifer Gellock
At the age of thirty-one, she burned out her nervous system after living most of her life with unmanaged chronic stress and anxiety. For too many years, she fought against herself and became emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually exhausted from trudging through the resistance of modern life.
Then in 2020, she awakened to a higher knowing and surrendered to a path of doing years of inner work that transformed her from the inside out. Her own story has led her down a path to help others connect back to their own inner truth. Her work empowers people to become the fullest expression of themselves in this lifetime. This week, Jennifer Gellock shares his inspiring journey!
A few areas of discussion with Jennifer include:
-Job burnout
-Strategies to deal with panic attacks
-How she moved past imposter syndrome
-How to move past that identity you knew your whole life into forming a new identity
-Working in an aligned space
-Sports = support system
-What to do when you feel something may be off
Meet our guest: Dr. Jennifer Gellock is a poet, transformational guide for heart-led leaders, and the founder of Inward Athlete. She left her job as a full-time professor in May of 2023 to step fully into her role as an entrepreneur and continue on her mission to shift others back home to their hearts.
In her work today, with personal clients and at her workshops, she uses a range of conscious awareness and mindfulness tools that include: subconscious reprogramming/mindset work, breathwork, journaling/poetry exercises, visualization techniques, energetic hygiene, and clearing practices, prayers of surrender and self-love, and her intuitive leadership guidance to shift others back home to their own inner knowing and take action from that place.
She has completed coursework and certifications to become a trauma-informed practitioner, mental health first aid responder, and experiential teaching and inclusive educator.

www_safetyandhealthmagazine_com_articles_25806-mental-health-in-construction-nyc-contractors-push-fo | mental_wellness | Mental health in construction: NYC contractors push for government action
New York — The Building Trades Employers’ Association is calling on local, state and federal leaders to adopt reforms aimed at enhancing mental health awareness in the construction industry.
In 2022, more than 6,000 construction workers died from suicide across the country, an association press release states, citing an analysis by CPWR – The Center for Construction Research and Training based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. No occupation has a higher rate of suicide than construction.
BTEA has “prioritized raising awareness about mental health in a variety of ways, including worker training, throughout the past year,” the release adds. “This year, the BTEA intends to move from awareness to action, as it proposes legislation to report on suicides in the construction industry, require mental wellness training and require lifesaving medicine to be available on construction sites.”
Specifically, the proposed reforms include:
- Incorporating mental wellness into OSHA 10- and 30-hour training courses.
- Requiring mental wellness discussions during onsite safety orientations.
- Requiring larger construction sites to have naloxone available to treat opioid overdoses.
BTEA, which represents around 1,200 union contractors in New York, is also proposing that the New York City Department of Buildings incorporate mental wellness into site safety training programs, and the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene report annually on suicides categorized by industry.
“Mental wellness and suicide prevention are uncomfortable topics, especially in the construction industry,” BTEA President and CEO Elizabeth Crowley said in the release. “People don’t like to discuss it, but we need to talk about it.
“Construction workers have the highest rates of suicide among any occupation in the country, and we implore our city, state and federal leaders to strengthen protections for these essential workers who serve as the backbone of our country’s prosperity.”

More than half of people in the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS’s drug treatment program have suffered from mental illness
Addressing the underlying mental health issues of harder-to-reach people with HIV/AIDS is important for treatment, a British Columbia researcher says.
The B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC-CfE) studied 916 participants in its drug treatment program from 2007 to 2010 and found that more than half (54 per cent) reported having a mental health disorder at some point in their lives.
The rate of mental illness among people with HIV is two to 10 times higher that the general population’s, according to previous research.
BC-CfE research scientist Dr. Robert Hogg told Metro that mood (85 per cent) and anxiety (65 per cent) disorders were the most common mental health conditions among the group.
The study defines “harder to reach” people as those with HIV/AIDS who use illicit drugs, have other health complications or are from vulnerable populations, such as women or Indigenous people, who can experience significant barriers to treatment for the disease.
“We were just amazed at the rate of concurrent illness with mental health-related issues,” said Hogg. “We wanted to make sure people are aware. People [dealing with mental illness] may not be accessing therapy or addressing their mental health concerns. Certainly, that’s an important thing to deal with.”
While dealing with concurrent illnesses is vital to ensuring the health of people with HIV/AIDS, the good news, according to Hogg, is that HIV/AIDS treatment adherence for people who are in the program and suffer from mental illness was roughly the same as those who don’t have a mental health illness. |

Psychological Staff Wellbeing team
The Psychological Staff Wellbeing team is a small team of Principal and Clinical Psychologists, led by a Consultant Clinical Psychologist.
How can this team help?
We’re very keen to look into proactive ways to help our staff and Trust.
- We offer individual psychological assessment and therapy via occupational health referral for any mood difficulties that are negatively affecting NHS work. We use a range of approaches in individual therapy for staff including CBT, ACT, EMDR, CFT, and counselling.
- We offer a- hoc bookable 30 minute 1-1 sessions to support staff wellbeing.
- We run regular workshops and training that include topics such as Emotional Wellbeing, Managing Burnout, and Supporting Managers to have Wellbeing Conversations. We continue to develop new topics.
- As a team, we are introducing emotional wellbeing during the induction process as a way of reaching a wide spectrum of staff.
- We provide induction sessions for high-risk clinical areas.
- We respond to teams after traumatic work-related incidents on request to support them as needed.
- Team interventions can be arranged by request - e.g. Team Time - Schwartz, Time to Think, and Psychoeducation sessions.
Why are psychologists an important part of staff wellbeing?
A recent review of evidence by Daniels et al (2022) found that NHS staff are more likely to experience high levels of work-related stress compared with the general working population.
The review indicates that nearly half of staff reportedly feel unwell as a result of work-related stress, sickness absence has increased, and there are high vacancy and turnover rates in some Trusts. Research also shows that patient care can be affected by poor healthcare staff wellbeing.
This suggests that systemic and sustained changes in organisational cultures within the NHS are required. It is therefore important to prioritise staff wellbeing and promote their health on a Trust level. Additionally, it is important that we respond reactively to staff as individuals when needed to support their psychological wellbeing.

deerhollowrecovery_com_blog_how-to-rein-in-negative-thoughts_ | mental_wellness | Our thoughts can run our lives. Whether we’re thinking positively or negatively, thoughts can have a direct impact on how we feel and even what we do. That’s why it’s important, especially in recovery, to have more control over our thoughts and focus on positivity. But, of course, that’s easier said than done. So, in this blog post, we discuss some tips and tricks to help you say goodbye to negativity.
Be aware of your thoughts
Check-in with yourself periodically. See where your thoughts are leading. How are they making you feel? Are they negative or positive? Being aware of your thoughts can help you know when there is a problem and when it’s time to do something about it.
Trash those negative thoughts
The idea here is to take those negative thoughts that are spinning in your head and put them on paper. Once you’ve written them down, you can ball up the piece of paper and throw it in the garbage. It helps you clear your head and incorporates a physical element so you can literally leave your negative thoughts behind.
Take time to focus on positivity
When you have a negative thought, take control. For example, if you think of something you don’t like about yourself, stop and think of something you do. If you view specific situations negatively, like having to go to work, try to find something about your job that you like. If that’s not possible, try to come up with something that might make the situation better, like having a fun drink or listening to music while you work.
Choose your friends carefully
Be careful who you spend time with. Find people who encourage positivity. Like the quote by Jim Rohn says, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” The more positive people that you surround yourself with, the more likely you are to pick up on that energy. Likewise, if the people around you are often negative, you’re likely to pick that up. So, tread carefully.
Stay grateful
We often take things for granted, but being grateful can increase your happiness. If you take time every day to list the things you’re thankful for, you’re more likely to have a positive mindset.
Exercise
Working out allows you to mentally process what you’ve been going through and clear your mind while getting fit. Plus, the endorphins it releases can make you feel happier.
Don’t let negativity take over your mind. A positive mindset can do wonders for your well-being and recovery. Try some of these tips today to keep your positivity levels up. |

wilberforcetrail_co_uk_health-fitness_the-benefits-of-seeing-a-specialist-for-depression-in-kent_ | mental_wellness | Millions of individuals worldwide suffer with depression, a severe mental illness that also affects Kent. Depression may significantly affect a person’s capacity to function in their everyday life, regardless of how it presents itself—as a chronic state of melancholy, hopelessness, exhaustion, or a loss of interest in life’s activities. Seeking professional assistance for depression is a crucial first step towards recovery and better mental health for Kent residents. The best method to treat depression and its underlying causes is frequently to consult a professional, even if many people may attempt to manage their symptoms on their own. Knowing why getting professional assistance for depression in Kent is essential can help people make decisions about their mental health that are well-informed.
The fact that depression is a complicated illness that frequently calls for specialised treatment is one of the main reasons to get professional therapy for depression in Kent. Although everyone occasionally feels depressed or in a bad mood, depression is much more than simply a temporary emotional dip. This medical illness can be brought on by a confluence of environmental, psychological, and biological variables. As a result, treating depression frequently calls for a diversified strategy, which Kent’s specialists are qualified to deliver. Experts are able to precisely determine the degree of depression, spot any co-occurring disorders, and provide a customised treatment plan that caters to each patient’s unique requirements.
The fact that depression in Kent might get worse over time if it is left untreated is another compelling argument for seeing a specialist. Depression may cause a downward cycle that impacts a person’s physical and mental health, relationships, and general quality of life if appropriate care is not received. Changes in appetite, sleep abnormalities, persistent weariness, and difficulty focussing are common symptoms of depression. These symptoms can make it difficult to carry out even the most basic of everyday duties, which can leave one feeling alone and powerless. Before depression has a chance to worsen an individual’s state of well-being, they can start the process of healing by getting expert treatment.
In Kent, one of the most important things that experts do to treat depression is to provide a secure, encouraging space where people feel comfortable talking about their experiences and feelings. A lot of people experience emotions of guilt, shame, or misinterpretation along with sadness. Discussing these emotions with loved ones or friends might be challenging since they might not completely understand the severity of the illness. Professionals, on the other hand, have received training in providing assistance based on evidence-based techniques and listening without passing judgement. People can explore their thoughts and feelings in a supportive and validated environment while in a therapy relationship, which can be very beneficial in and of itself.
Professionals in Kent can offer a variety of therapy alternatives that are customised to each patient’s particular circumstances in addition to providing emotional support. Since there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for depression, an individual’s symptoms, medical history, and preferences may all influence the optimal course of action. Therapy could be the best course of action for certain people. It has been demonstrated that certain types of treatment, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT), are quite successful in treating depression. Long-term healing requires the ability to recognise and alter harmful thinking patterns, create more effective coping strategies, and forge deeper interpersonal bonds—all of which are facilitated by these therapeutic modalities.
For others, taking medicine could be an essential part of their therapy regimen. Dopamine and serotonin abnormalities, which can impact mood and energy levels, are frequently associated with depression. Experts in Kent are qualified to determine if prescription drugs might be helpful and, if so, which kind would be best. When people work with a professional, they may get the proper drug at the right dosage and continuous monitoring to make sure their therapy is working and that any possible side effects are being handled. This degree of individualised care is essential since it guarantees that people won’t be left to handle the difficulties of taking medicine by themselves.
The importance of comprehensive care in professional depression therapy in Kent cannot be overstated. Many experts are aware that depression impacts the body, spirit, and psyche in addition to the mind. As a result, they could include complementary therapies—like mindfulness exercises, relaxation methods, or lifestyle adjustments that enhance general wellbeing—in their treatment regimens. These all-encompassing methods can assist people in treating the mental and emotional components of depression in addition to managing its physical manifestations, such as tension or exhaustion. Professionals may assist patients in developing resilience and leading more balanced, meaningful lives by treating the full person.
It’s crucial to get professional assistance for depression in Kent as these individuals are trained to see the early indicators of more serious depressions, such major depressive disorder (MDD) or treatment-resistant depression. While many depressed individuals may have mild to moderate symptoms, some may have more severe cases that call immediate medical attention from a specialist. People who suffer from severe depression may have thoughts of suicide or self-harm. Professionals are qualified to spot these red flags and respond appropriately to keep the person safe. This might entail creating a crisis plan, offering prompt assistance, or, if required, directing the patient towards more extensive treatment choices like inpatient care.
Fear of stigma is one of the biggest obstacles that many Kent residents have when trying to get professional care for depression. Depression is one of the common misconceptions around mental health issues, and people may fear discrimination or judgement if they seek treatment. Professionals in Kent, however, are committed to dismantling these obstacles by providing discreet, kind treatment that upholds each person’s dignity. Professionals empower people to start the healing process without fear of prejudice or judgement by creating an atmosphere where mental health is given the same priority as physical health.
The focus on prevention and long-term rehabilitation is another argument in favour of getting professional depression treatment in Kent. Professionals work to help people develop the skills necessary to sustain their mental health over time, even while they address the acute symptoms of depression. As part of this, it might be necessary to provide coping skills training, pinpoint the causes of depressive episodes, and develop a self-care schedule that promotes mental and emotional health. Through the provision of necessary skills and information, experts aid in the proactive management of mental health, therefore mitigating the long-term impacts of depression.
Getting professional therapy in Kent may also provide those with depression who would otherwise feel alone or detached a feeling of connection and belonging. Individuals with comparable experiences might gather in group therapy or support groups, which are led by many specialists, to exchange stories, provide support, and gain knowledge from one another. Being a member of a community that supports one another may be very powerful since it serves as a reminder that one is not alone in their challenges. This feeling of connection, which gives people the impression that there are others who genuinely get what they’re going through and understand them, can be a crucial component of the healing process.
Ultimately, the first step towards regaining control over one’s life is to consult a specialist for depression in Kent. People who are depressed may feel helpless, as if they have no control over their feelings, ideas, or environment. However, people may start actively working towards restoring their feeling of agency and wellbeing by working with a professional. Professional therapy, whether in the form of counselling, medication, or a mix of techniques, enables people to take control of their mental health and design a more purposeful and happy life.
In conclusion, there are a lot of strong arguments in favour of getting professional treatment for depression Kent. In order to successfully manage depression and its symptoms, specialists give the knowledge, assistance, and individualised care required due to the complexity of the illness and the large range of available treatment choices. Speak with a professional is an essential first step towards recovery, regardless of the severity of one’s depression symptoms. Utilising Kent’s services can help people get the support they need to better manage their mental health, deal with depression, and live more balanced, meaningful lives. |

It’s not always obvious when someone you care about is going through a tough time, although you may notice some things which may make you concerned.
-
They seem anxious, worried, or unhappy.
-
Their emotions go up and down – for example, suddenly losing their temper, or crying.
-
They have changes in their sleep patterns and/or eating habits.
-
They stop seeing friends or taking part in social activities they enjoy.
-
They are talking more negatively about themselves, the world around them, or their future.
-
They’re watching too much TV, eating or drinking too much, taking part in risky activities, or skipping work.
If you think that something is not right, it’s important to check in and ask them how they’re going. You don't need any special training to show someone you care about them; sometimes, just being there can make all the difference. |

caitlinburke_com_blog_tag_laughter_ | mental_wellness | In light of these findings for positive wellbeing, as well as of the complex conceptual content of sense of humor, it is possible that sense of humor is best conceived of as one aspect of a broader psychological characteristic that facilitates a general state of wellbeing, rather than a specific emotional state of mirthfulness.
In an endearingly not particularly funny article, Mark Crislip at Science-Based Medicine explores laughter as medicine and sense of humor as a marker for health (and touches on something I’ve always suspected: the more you complain, the harder you are to kill). |

adultchildren_org_comline_voices-of-recovery_when-worlds-collide-part-1_ | mental_wellness | Recently, at the ACA Regional Event in Boca Raton, Florida, members from the Strengthening My Recovery Meditation Meeting (WEB0120) had a chance to gather together.
For years, these friends had only seen each other on a screen - as live videos, as avatars or simply as a name. Now the experience was face-to-face. Just imagine all the various fears and feelings that can arise with stepping forward and saying, “Hi, I know you from Strengthening My Recovery …”
In this two-part essay, those feelings are explored. Here, some members share their experiences:
Jim R:
I was nervous. I was meeting a dear, intimate friend for the first time… weird. We worked our recovery together. Supported our meeting together. Even had a huge fight in the midst of it all, and yet we had never met. Of course, my first thoughts - vanity… that lockdown layer applied to my waist is still with me. Acceptance. What if it’s awkward, with nothing to say? Acceptance.
All of that melted away as we shared a long-lasting embrace. What’s more, we stole away from the early arrivals who were dining together and instead, had a stroll on the beach and dinner for two. A perfect prequel to the Event to come.
My one challenge, which I’ve always had - remembering names. This awkwardness is a little more pronounced when you're face-to-face. Acceptance.
Beth L:
I was anxious about seeing people but arriving - that anxiety evaporated, replaced with curiosity and interest and warmth. I felt a great familiarity with the people I'd seen at the morning Zoom meeting. It was nice to simply experience the face-to-face interactions, looking into people's eyes.
A favorite conference moment was walking into the non-dominant handwriting workshop - already in progress. People were deep into the experience. The room was full, yet very quiet. As I sat down, feeling comforted and relaxed, I thought, “This whole room is together to find healing, just like I am.” During the exercise, and throughout the weekend, I felt comfortable crying.
I met new people, experiencing a high level of trust with most everyone. On Saturday, unbelievably exhausted, I sat in a comfy chair, rested my eyes, and briefly fell asleep. I probably fell into familiar (possibly unhealthy) patterns of relating. It’s not like I was perfect, or anyone was perfect, but being together, in real life, was a comforting, beautiful experience.
I found myself wishing that it would not end. I look forward to the next time. I looked at the overall group in attendance - a large variety of beautiful self-expression; a healthy gathering of focused, interesting, and inclusive people. I was happy to be a part. I feel proud. My confidence is boosted by being a part of this fellowship.
Boaz S:
For JR.
When I entered ACA you, truly, were a phenomenon.
In time I entered service, way too soon perhaps, but maybe not.
I wanted to be friends, yet didn’t know how to love without hurting.
There you are, coming through the door.
I reach up and hold your face in my hands.
Our eyes meet in the fierceness of presence.
Next, we’re in my truck, I listen as you navigate... to the ocean.
Together we figure out the fancy parking meter, pull off our shoes and head to
the edge of the earth.
Ocean soaks our rolled-up pants. My soul basks in the sound of your voice-
not on a computer but right next to me, my sibling.
While Mama ocean whispers, her blue/green lullaby, in the background.
BonnieLee M:
Going to the event in Boca Raton was my first time ‘live’ in ACA.
My recovery has been exclusively online. Fear of not being safe has kept me isolated as much as my fear of triggers… basically other humans.
My experience was so healing. Doing workshops with strangers and feeling safe, heard, and loved has been life altering. Meeting and hugging folks from my daily SMR morning meeting was quite special. My HP gave me the strength I needed.
What happens in Boca…
Happily, it doesn’t stay in Boca. The richness of our magical moments together has stayed with us, even in our return to our daily virtual ACA experience. And as amazing as these experiences were, the most amazing coincidence has yet to be expressed. In Part 2, you will hear from Annie, the founder of the Strengthening My Recovery meditation meeting - who just happened to be at the Boca event!

news_yale_edu_2001_05_01_new-professor-named-yale-science-faculty | mental_wellness | Depression has a far larger impact on ‘presenteeism’ or reduced productivity while at work, than on absenteeism, Yale School of Medicine researchers report in a new study published in the May issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.
“The findings suggest that depression has a substantial and persistent association with decreased workplace productivity, an impact that may be underestimated when looking only at days missed from work,” said Benjamin Druss, M.D., lead author on the study and assistant professor of psychiatry and in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Yale School of Medicine.
Druss said a second important finding is that depressed workers who report poor quality of health care are most likely to have persistent depressive symptoms and decreased work productivity.
“The findings support a growing body of literature demonstrating the impact of depression in the workplace,” said Druss. “In our study, the impact of depression on function at work was substantially higher than its association with missed days at work, suggesting that previous reports of absenteeism may represent only a small fraction of the cost of depression in the workplace.”
“The costs are greatest in depressed individuals with problems in obtaining good health care,” Druss adds. “This lends support to the notion that improving patient care can have an impact on improving not only clinical outcomes, but also workplace productivity.”
Using two longitudinal surveys given in 1993 and 1995, Druss and his team employees of three major U.S. corporations. At a two-year follow-up, the team found that employees with chronic depressive symptoms reported a twofold increase in missed workdays and a more than sevenfold greater odds of decreased workplace effectiveness, compared to those without depressive symptoms.
Among employees with depression at the start of the study, problems with health care predicted a 34 percent increase in likelihood of persistent depression, and a 66 percent increase in likelihood of problems with work productivity two years later.
To assess satisfaction with health care, respondents to the 1993 survey were asked questions addressing 13 separate domains of health care satisfaction-six domains pertaining to the provision of clinical care and seven related to plan administration. Ten to 20 percent of the sample reported dissatisfaction with each of the domains of care.
To assess workplace performance, respondents to the 1995 survey were asked whether they had missed one or more days from work because of health problems in the previous four weeks. They were also asked to rate the impact of their health on effectiveness at work, on a scale of zero (unable to accomplish anything due to health) to 100 (at best, with no health problems).
Other researchers on the study included Mark Schlesinger, associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Yale and Harris Allen, of Harris Allen Associates. The study was funded with grants from the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). |
www_martaloveguard_com_self-care-strategies-for-a-healthier-life_ | mental_wellness | In today’s fast-paced world, the art of self-care has become more than a luxury—it’s a necessity. The relentless pursuit of productivity often leaves us feeling drained, both mentally and physically, making it crucial to find balance and rejuvenation amidst the chaos. Embracing practices that promote relaxation and stress relief is not just indulgent, it’s essential for maintaining our overall health and well-being. By mindfully unwinding and disconnecting from the pressures of daily life, we can recharge our batteries and tackle our responsibilities with renewed vigor. Nourishing our bodies with wholesome foods, engaging in regular physical activity, and ensuring restful sleep are foundational pillars of a robust self-care regimen. But the journey to a healthier life doesn’t end there; it’s also about nurturing our emotional health through meaningful social interactions and indulging in activities that bring us joy and fulfillment. Moreover, mastering the art of managing our time effectively can help us avoid the pitfalls of burnout. As we delve into the myriad ways to care for ourselves, remember that each step taken is an investment in a happier, more resilient version of you.
Prioritize Mindful Relaxation Techniques to Alleviate Stress
Embracing mindful relaxation techniques is essential for mitigating the impact of stress on our physical and mental well-being. Techniques such as meditation, deep-breathing exercises, and progressive muscle relaxation are not just fleeting trends; they are backed by scientific research that underscores their effectiveness in reducing cortisol levels, enhancing mood, and improving overall health. By setting aside time each day to engage in these practices, individuals can create a buffer against the stressors of daily life, fostering a sense of calm and resilience that permeates through all aspects of their existence.
Moreover, the integration of mindfulness into everyday activities can transform mundane tasks into opportunities for stress relief and self-discovery. Whether it’s savoring the flavors of a meal, focusing on the sensation of water during a shower, or simply being present while walking, these acts of mindfulness can serve as anchors, keeping us grounded in the moment. It’s important to note that the journey towards mastering these techniques is highly personal and may require patience and persistence. However, the benefits reaped from a consistent practice can be profound, leading to a more balanced and healthier life.
Incorporate Balanced Nutrition for Optimal Well-being
Achieving a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being involves a multifaceted approach, with balanced nutrition playing a pivotal role. A diet rich in a variety of nutrients supports not only the physiological functions of the body but also contributes to mental health and emotional equilibrium. To start, focus on incorporating a rainbow of fruits and vegetables, ensuring you get a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Tip sheets on seasonal produce can guide you in making the best choices for nutrient-dense options throughout the year.
It’s not just about what you eat, but also how you eat. Conscious eating habits can enhance your nutritional intake and overall well-being. This means taking the time to enjoy your meals without the distraction of technology or stress. Consider creating a meal plan that includes lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats to stabilize blood sugar levels and maintain energy throughout the day. Utilizing tip sheets on portion sizes can help manage intake and prevent overeating.
Lastly, remember that hydration is a key component of balanced nutrition. Drinking adequate amounts of water is essential for digestion, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of toxins. It also plays a crucial role in maintaining cognitive function and energy levels. Keep a reusable water bottle with you as a reminder to stay hydrated, and if you find water too bland, infuse it with slices of fruits or herbs for an added flavor boost. Tip sheets on creative hydration methods can offer fresh ideas to ensure you meet your daily water intake goals.
Establish a Consistent Exercise Routine for Physical Health
Maintaining a regular exercise regimen is pivotal for not only physical health but also for mental well-being. The benefits of physical activity are vast and well-documented, ranging from improved cardiovascular health to enhanced mood and cognitive function. It’s not about the intensity or the type of exercise you choose, but the consistency with which you integrate it into your daily life. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a yoga session, or weight training, the key is to find an activity that you enjoy and can sustain over the long term. This commitment to regular exercise can lead to significant improvements in energy levels, strength, and overall vitality.
While the concept of exercise is familiar to most, the challenge often lies in developing a routine that feels manageable and enjoyable. To cultivate a successful exercise habit, start with clear, achievable goals and a defined schedule. This might mean setting aside specific days and times for your workouts or incorporating physical activity into existing routines, such as cycling to work or taking the stairs. Remember, the goal is to make exercise an integral and non-negotiable part of your daily life, much like eating or sleeping. By doing so, you’ll ensure that your commitment to physical health remains strong, even when faced with the undefined variables of a busy lifestyle.
Cultivate Quality Sleep Habits for Enhanced Recovery
Quality sleep is the cornerstone of a robust self-care routine. It’s during those critical hours of rest that our bodies undergo repair and rejuvenation. To ensure you’re getting the most out of your slumber, consider establishing a consistent bedtime routine. This can signal to your body that it’s time to wind down, making it easier to fall asleep. Additionally, limiting exposure to screens an hour before bed can reduce the impact of blue light on your sleep cycle, promoting a more restful night.
Creating an environment conducive to sleep is just as important as the routine itself. Invest in a comfortable mattress and pillows that support your body’s natural alignment. Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool – an optimal environment for sleep. If noise is an issue, consider white noise machines or earplugs. For those who struggle with sleep, tip sheets on relaxation techniques or guided meditations can be invaluable tools for enhancing sleep quality.
Lastly, be mindful of your diet and exercise habits, as they play a significant role in sleep quality. Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime, as they can disrupt your sleep cycle. Regular physical activity, on the other hand, has been shown to improve sleep patterns. However, it’s best to complete any vigorous exercise a few hours before bed to allow your body time to unwind. Remember, a commitment to quality sleep is a commitment to a healthier, more vibrant life.
Foster Social Connections for Emotional Support
Human beings are inherently social creatures, and the strength of our social ties can have a profound impact on our mental and physical health. Building and maintaining a network of supportive relationships is not just beneficial; it’s essential. These connections provide us with a sense of belonging and can be a powerful buffer against stress. When we cultivate relationships with people who understand and care about us, we create a safe space to share our thoughts and feelings, which is crucial for our emotional well-being.
It’s important to recognize that social support comes in many forms, and one size does not fit all. Whether it’s a close-knit circle of friends, family members, or a larger community group, what matters is the quality of the connections rather than the quantity. Engaging in regular social activities, even if they’re virtual, can help to reinforce these bonds and provide a sense of routine and normalcy. In times of crisis or simply during the ups and downs of life, these social networks can be an invaluable resource for advice, assistance, and comfort.
Moreover, fostering social connections can sometimes mean reaching out and being vulnerable, which can be challenging for many. However, taking the initiative to build and nurture relationships can lead to increased self-esteem and a more resilient outlook on life. It’s also beneficial to diversify one’s social portfolio by connecting with individuals from different backgrounds and with varying life experiences, as this can broaden perspectives and foster personal growth. Remember, the effort invested in social relationships often yields undefined rewards, enriching our lives in ways we may not have anticipated.
Embrace Personal Hobbies to Enrich Your Life
Delving into personal hobbies offers a unique pathway to enhance well-being and foster personal growth. Whether it’s painting, gardening, or playing a musical instrument, hobbies provide a creative outlet that can alleviate stress and promote a sense of accomplishment. By setting aside time for activities that you are passionate about, you not only nurture your skills but also create a buffer against the pressures of daily life. This commitment to self-enrichment can lead to a more balanced lifestyle, where personal fulfillment becomes a cornerstone for overall health.
Moreover, the pursuit of hobbies encourages the development of new social connections and the strengthening of existing ones. Engaging in community-based activities or joining clubs related to your interests can open doors to meaningful interactions and undefined opportunities for collaboration. These social networks not only provide emotional support but also contribute to a sense of belonging, which is a fundamental aspect of mental health. As you invest time in hobbies that resonate with your core interests, you lay the groundwork for a richer, more vibrant life.
Develop Time Management Skills to Reduce Overwhelm
Effective time management is a crucial component of self-care that often goes overlooked. By organizing your day and prioritizing tasks, you can significantly reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Start by evaluating your current schedule and identifying areas where you may be overcommitting or not using your time efficiently. This self-awareness is the first step towards making meaningful changes that can lead to a healthier and more balanced life.
Implementing a structured daily routine can help you to manage your time more effectively. Consider the following steps to enhance your time management skills:
- Begin by listing all the tasks you need to accomplish, both personal and professional.
- Assign a specific time slot to each task, ensuring you allocate time for breaks and self-care activities.
- Use tools such as planners, apps, or calendars to keep track of your commitments and deadlines.
- Set realistic goals for each day, avoiding the temptation to overfill your schedule.
- Review your progress at the end of the day and adjust your plan for the following day if necessary.
Remember that flexibility is key to successful time management. While it’s important to have a plan, be prepared to adapt when unexpected situations arise. Prioritize tasks based on their importance and urgency, and don’t hesitate to delegate or eliminate tasks that do not contribute to your overall well-being. By mastering the art of time management, you can create more space for self-care, leading to a healthier and more fulfilling life. |

Mental health treatment is a critical step in managing any mental health disorder. It can be difficult to know where to start, but with the right information, you can find the right treatment for yourself. In this blog post, we will discuss different types of mental health treatment and how to find the one that is best suited for you.
Contents
What Is Mental Health Treatment?
Mental health treatment is the process of diagnosing and treating mental illness. It can be provided by a psychiatrist, psychologist, or other mental health professional. Treatment usually involves talk therapy, medication, or both.
Treatment of mental health should be tailored to each individual. That means finding a provider who is a good fit for you and your needs. It’s important to find someone you feel comfortable with and can trust.
Why Is Mental Health Treatment Important?
Mental health is a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.
Good mental health is not just the absence of mental illness. Everyone has times when they feel worried, anxious, sad, or angry. But if these feelings don’t go away after a couple of weeks or interfere with your day-to-day life then you might have a mental health problem
Mental health treatment is important because it can help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. It can also help prevent mental illness from getting worse.
How Does Mental Health Treatment Work?
