September is National Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month 💜🩵

This month, we encourage everyone to take some time to learn more about the warning signs that can show up when someone is struggling with suicidal thoughts. Some signs include, but are not limited to:

🟠 Being preoccupied with death, dying or violence.
🟠 Changing regular routine, including eating or sleeping patterns.
🟠 Giving away belongings or getting affairs in order when there is no other logical explanation for doing this.
🟠 Withdrawing from social contact and wanting to be left alone.

We know how difficult it can be to open up to someone when you’re struggling, but we never want you to suffer in silence. You can always contact our compassionate therapists by calling us at (502) 709-0410. 🫶

🚨 In emergency situations, the 24/7 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline is available by calling or texting 988.

Today is National Grief Awareness Day 💔

Grief looks different for everyone and can come from a multitude of life experiences. From death and broken relationships to job loss and financial burdens, grief comes in every shape and size.

While there are many different emotions that come with grief, it’s not unusual to experience these 5 stages of grief when it comes to healing from loss.

If you or someone you know is grieving, you’re not alone. Seeking support from a therapist can help when it comes to working through the intense emotions you may be feeling.

Contact us today at (502) 709-0410 to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced therapists. 💙

“As parents, we want our kids to be happy and healthy. Oftentimes this means running them all over town for various events and appointments – wellness visits, sick visits, tutoring, dentist appointments, lessons, sports activities, vision tests, club events…and the list goes on and on. While their happiness and success is a priority, what happens when crises arise which add to the already over-scheduled family schedule? When our children experience mental health symptoms and concerns, this moves up quickly on the priority list of weekly commitments. Parents who are already burning up the road with mileage then try to find more time in the day to fit in one more (very important) therapy visit.”

Back to school and back to routines!! Slow summer days are over and I’m sure we’re all struggling to get back into our routines. For many children, routines can be even more difficult for those that struggle with transitions.

We’ve compiled 5 tips to help improve moments of transition with your child!

⏰ If you notice transitions that are consistent at certain points of each day, such as in the morning, after school, and in the evening, establishing a consistent routine can tremendously help your child with transitions. With an established routine, your child will know what to expect, avoiding a tantrum or pushback when it’s time to move on from one task to another.
⏰ Using a timer not only helps your child become more aware of time limits, but also reduces anxiety and resistance because they are able to prepare for the transition.
⏰ Using a visual chart or schedule helps younger children understand their schedule. Being able to point to a photo or drawing of an activity and say something along the lines of, “right now we’re coloring, but once we’re done, we’re going to eat lunch,” can help them anticipate what is to come instead of simply being told it’s time to stop an activity.
⏰ If your child has 20 minutes left to play on the playground, it’s helpful to give them a countdown such as “10 minutes left” & “5 minutes left.” This is helpful for kids who are learning the concept of time passing and to help them adequately prepare for the transition that is coming.
⏰ Remember to always praise good transitioning! If your child handles a transition well, it’s important to let them know how well they did! This positive reinforcement will help them to make good decisions when it comes to future transitions.

Back to school season can be nerve wracking for many reasons! From new schools to new routines, fear of the unknown can be overwhelming.

If your child experiences first day of school nerves, here are 3 tips for managing those nerves and the anxiety that comes with it:

🍎 If your child is attending a new school, visiting the school before the year begins can do wonders for calming their nerves! Being in a completely new environment with new people can be downright scary for many. Becoming familiar with the environment and knowing where to go can help ease your nervous student on the first day.
🍎 Opening up a safe discussion to talk about your child’s feelings can better help understand what they are feeling and why they might be feeling that way. Not only will this help them understand their own emotions, but it will also help you determine how you can best support them.
🍎 Going over the day’s routine beforehand can help your child feel more comfortable on the day of! Knowing what to expect can take a weight off your child’s shoulders and establishes some form of stability when everything else feels unknown. Creating a good morning routine can especially help ground them before heading off to school.

If you think your child would benefit from professional support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our therapists! You can also look into our School Facilitated Services to help ease your load during the school year.

Children experience many big feelings, but they might not know how to properly express what they’re feeling or even understand why they are feeling a certain way.

If you believe your child might be experiencing anxiety, but they aren’t able to express that to you, here are some signs to look out for:

🟣 Your child might have trouble sleeping, complain of stomachaches, or experience other physical symptoms.
🟠 If your child is anxious, you may notice them becoming clingy around parents or caregivers.
🟢 Your child might start avoiding certain activities, environments, people, or situations that cause them anxiety.
🔵 Trouble focusing in school and becoming fidgety could be signs of anxiety, as those behaviors are not just associated with ADHD.
🟡 If your child starts experiencing emotional outbursts out of nowhere, it’s possible that their fight-or-flight mechanism has been triggered.

If you’re unsure whether or not your child is suffering from anxiety or if you’re seeking support for your anxious child, don’t hesitate to reach out to our caring therapists by calling 502-709-0410. You can also fill out a contact form on our website 👉 https://creativefamilycounseling.org/

Is summer leaving you feeling burnt out as a parent? We know you love your children, but we also understand that summer break can be overwhelming and draining for many parents!

We want you to know that you’re not alone in your parenting journey. At Creative Family Counseling, we don’t just provide your child with support, we also provide parenting support for any parents out there!

Here are 4 tips we suggest to help manage the end-of-summer parental burnout you may be experiencing:

🍧 Start each week with a plan - While this is easier said than done, going into each week with a plan can help with feeling overwhelmed or unprepared. But if things don’t end up going according to plan, that’s alright! Try to remain as flexible as possible.
🍧 Embrace imperfection - Remember, there is no such thing as a perfect parent or person! Show yourself compassion and remind yourself that this is your first time parenting. Take a deep breath, give yourself grace, and take breaks when necessary.
🍧 Encourage independent play - Please don’t feel like you are responsible for entertaining your child 24/7. There is so much good that comes from independent play. Both you and your child will reap the benefits!
🍧 Seek support from family and friends - If you are lucky enough to have friends and family who live nearby that are able to help lighten your load in any way, don’t be afraid to lean on them!

📞 If you are in need of professional support, we are always here for you. Reach out to us at anytime by calling 502-709-0410.
