MYTH: I can't do anything for a person with a ment

MYTH: I can't do anything for a person with a mental health problem.⁠
⁠
FACT: Friends and loved ones can make a big difference.⁠
⁠
-------------------------------------------------------⁠
⁠
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we are sharing #MentalHealthMythorFacts all throughout May.⁠
⁠
⁠
It is true that only 44% of adults with diagnosable mental health problems and less than 20% of children and adolescents receive needed treatment. Friends and family can be important influences to help someone get the treatment and services they need by:⁠
⁠
Reaching out and letting them know you are available to help⁠
Helping them access mental health services⁠
Learning and sharing the facts about mental health, especially if you hear something that isn't true⁠
Treating them with respect, just as you would anyone else⁠
Refusing to define them by their diagnosis or using labels such as "crazy"⁠

Having trouble connecting with your teen, especial

Having trouble connecting with your teen, especially after some defiant behavior? ⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
#1 - Always start with love. Because conflict and setting boundaries typically separate people at first, it's important to convey to the best of our ability that we genuinely care about them and their welfare.⁠
⁠
#2- Love without the truth will not be enough. Truth provides guidance and exists in the form of rules, requirements, and expectations. ⁠
⁠
#3- Maybe freedom to choose is exactly what got your teen in trouble, however, freedom is absolutely necessary because you can't make your teen choose the right thing, and even if you could "make" your teen do the right thing, it wouldn't help your teen grow into the mature person you are dreaming of.⁠
⁠
#4.- Teens need consequences - consequences help teach use how to be responsible. They need to be said and done... if you set the consequence, you must follow through.

"So often, children are punished for being human.

"So often, children are punished for being human. They are not allowed to have grumpy moods, bad days, disrespectful tones, or bad attitudes. Yet, we adults have them all the time. None of us are perfect. We must stop holding our children to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves." - Rebecca Eanes⁠
.⁠

It's common to want the best out of and for our children. Remember: your children are navigating life the best they can. They will mess up. Love them, anyway. While you're at it... remember, you will mess up. Love yourself, anyway!

A mental illness is not a character flaw. It is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, biological, social and environmental factors. ⁠

Seeking and accepting help is a sign of resilience and strength.⁠

MYTH: People with mental health needs, even those

MYTH: People with mental health needs, even those who are managing their mental illness, cannot tolerate the stress of holding down a job.⁠
⁠
FACT: People with mental health problems are just as productive as other employees. ⁠
-------------------------------------------------------⁠
⁠
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we are sharing #MentalHealthMythorFacts all throughout May.⁠
⁠
It is true that Employers who hire people with mental health problems report good attendance and punctuality as well as motivation, good work, and job tenure on par with or greater than other employees.⁠

⁠
- Lower total medical costs⁠
- Increased productivity⁠
