In some cases, a parent’s lack of guidance or affection for their child can lead to feelings of disappointment, low self-worth and even anger — and these damaging feelings can stick with us even after children grow up and set out into the world to lead their own lives as adults. With that sentiment in mind, our Mental Health Awareness Month book pick for today from Todd McCarty, LCSW is “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents,” by Lindsay C. Gibson. “This book will help you recognize patterns, set boundaries and prioritize your needs in difficult family relationships,” Todd says. “If you're often pressured to fulfill your parent's emotional needs or are consistently blamed by them for situations, this book gives insight and hope about managing these dynamics.” Find out more about “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" today: https://rb.gy/esn9zu #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth2024 #mentalhealthmatters

How can we heal a broken U.S. mental health system? That’s the question #SMU faculty member Neely Myers addresses in this recent Authority Magazine article. Myers is a psychological and medical anthropologist with over 20 years of research on the ways the US mental health care system treats individuals experiencing psychosis and trauma. Her forthcoming book, "Breaking Points: Youth Mental Health Crises and How We All Can Help", is based on ethnographic research that has been funded nearly continuously by the National Institutes of Health since 2009.    https://lnkd.in/gdnQGQfp   #mentalhealth #mentalhealthcare

October is mental health month in Australia and it’s a good reminder that looking after our mental health is vitally important. I’d like to thank the University of Sydney and Brain and Mind Centre teams for taking the time to chat to me about clinical depression and some of the myths surrounding it.

Would you like children and teenagers to open up to you more? To feel more comfortable and better able to tell you their story? Too many children and teenagers who have been through difficult experiences are held hostage to the fallout from their ‘un-storied emotions’, namely debilitating mental health issues and behaviours that challenge. In this webinar, Margot Sunderland explores how to develop ‘narrative competence’ and how to become ‘talkable to’. It provides a wealth of tools and techniques to support you to respond therapeutically when a child/teenager tells you a significant story about their life. It discusses how to use big empathy drawings as a response, to honour and validate the stories told to you, and to provide essential opportunities for collaborative sense-making.
