July brings Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Everyone deserves easy access to care and mental health is never one-size-fits-all. Effective therapy is tailored to an individual and family - and above all, culturally responsive. More than half the families served by Washburn Center staff identify as BIPOC. To serve those families and youth with quality care, we've embedded equity, diversity, growth and building multicultural community in our everyday practices. This month and every month, we celebrate the joy and resilience of clients, families and staff.

✨ This Movember, we're taking a moment to reflect on the importance of men's mental health in the care industry. At Sapphire Education & Training, we understand the vital role that everyone, regardless of gender, plays in providing care and support 🫂. The demands of the care sector can be emotionally challenging. It's essential to recognise that self-care and mental well-being are equally important for both men and women in our field. Let's encourage open conversations about mental health and offer support where needed 🤗. Our commitment extends beyond education; it's about fostering a caring community. Together, let's prioritise mental health in the care industry. 🤝💙 #Movember #MensMentalHealth #CareIndustrySupport #SapphireCares

The theme for this year's Children's Mental Health Acceptance Week is "Lighting the Path to Social Justice for Children and Youth." You might be asking, what does social justice mean in terms of mental health? The National Federation of Families (NFF) has provided a helpful answer to that question: 1) Equity at every level of society 2) Ensuring that all members of our society are physically and psychologically safe and secure 3) Giving every person the opportunity to live up to their full potential 4) Supporting one another to live meaningful, purposeful lives and lastly, offering acceptance. For activities, worksheets, videos, and resources about the importance of accepting mental health challenges, visit: https://lnkd.in/eKMvj7S8 and for information on how you can move towards acceptance, visit: https://lnkd.in/ew3UkcqX (Source: ffcmh.org) #AcceptAdvocateAct #SocialJusticeForFamilies #ChildrensMentalHealth #MentalHealthAcceptance
