Comments

My colleagues, Kim Hager and Maria Martinez, are interested in studying the experiences and barriers to accessing mental health services for families. For the purpose of our research, we intend to compare three groups – caregivers of children with one or more mental health conditions (including developmental diagnoses), caregivers of children with mental health conditions and common medical conditions, and caregivers of children with mental health conditions and rare diseases. Caregivers include biological parents, adoptive parents, foster parents, step-parents, guardians, and kinship homes with children under the age of 18. The survey is nationwide and open to families who live anywhere within the United States. The study is approved by the IRB and the survey is anonymous. Please help us by filling out the survey and/or sharing it.
English survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PQFSMVV
Spanish survey: https://es.surveymonkey.com/r/2DXD5TX
The hope is the survey results will assist mental health providers in tailoring services to meet families’ needs. Thank you and we appreciate all your help!

It takes practice and determination to help your child adopt the habit of expressing their feelings appropriately.
Encourage it by being a positive role model and remember to stay calm and positive throughout the process.

Please welcome to our team, Junior Saintphard! Junior is a graduate of University of Lynchburg's Clinical Mental Health master's program. He is moving over to joining Resilient Kids after spending time working within inpatient and outpatient rehab programs to work with teens and their families. Please take a second to learn more about Junior, and if you are interested in starting therapy with him, fill out a request session form (https://www.resilientkidstherapy.com/schedule-a-session)

Hi, I'm Junior! In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, going to the gym, the beach, watching sports and playing video games. What I am MOST passionate about is being a therapist to help teenagers, young adults and their families overcome life's challenges. I’m here to provide you and your family the support and guidance that will help you gain a deeper understanding of your child, and feel more connected to them through a CBT and client centered approach. I specialize in working with a number of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, poor anger control, substance abuse and other issues.

Working with teens can be hard, I'm sure you've experienced that with your own child, however I've been told that they easily connect with me as their therapist. I like sessions to be fun and engaging and to provide families with tools and strategies they can use when sessions are over.

Please do not hesitate to reach out for more information, questions, or support. I look forward to being able to be a part of your family's growth!

For children, anxiety tends to form around worrying about what will happen in the future based on past experiences.
Recognizing that your child is experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, talking to your child’s doctor, and finding healthy ways to help her cope with stressful situations can keep anxious thoughts or feelings under control.
Providing a safe home environment with plenty of downtimes that encourages play is an important part of raising stress-free children who are well-balanced and happy. And no matter the age, the right diagnosis, medication, and home intervention tools can help keep an anxiety disorder well-managed. I

Please welcome our newest team member, Linda Ealy who is currently taking new clients and providing two children's groups (anxiety and social skills).

Linda is a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Grand Canyon University with an emphasis in Childhood and Adolescent disorders. She is trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and sees children at our farm location, utilizing the resources in nature to help young children meet their treatment goals. Her knowledge of camping, outdoor education, early childhood experience and early elementary instruction merge in an envirotherapy approach, a type of psychotherapy that involves being outdoors and immersed in nature. For example, one session may be spent learning coping skills to control anxiety during a nature walk, or one session may be focused on improving listening skills while planting flowers.

Her love for children and nature is combined with her creative, holistic approach to mental health. She believes that the thoughtful exposure of children to nature is a powerful tool for therapy and a means of restoring their souls. Her young clients are supported through auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learning experiences. She considers each new day as an opportunity for growth and that problems are simply challenges which make us stronger.

She specializes in children 8 and younger who are struggling with ADHD, anger management, anxiety, and depression. Linda also treats children on the spectrum, and provides parenting skills training. In addition, Linda also provides grief therapy for women who have experienced a miscarriage.

If you would like to get scheduled with Linda, please contact our office by phone (302) 279-6491 or email at [email protected]

Resilient Kids is proud to announce our new Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) program, a unique and groundbreaking model, used around the country as a dynamic, powerful tool in mental health therapy. Learn new life lessons, find healing from traumas, or develop new relationship skills, while enjoying the relaxed environment of horses.

Through Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, the focus is not horsemanship or horseback riding, but rather a safe place for the client and therapist to engage in activities with a horse or horses, and use the horse(s) to help process feelings, thoughts and reactions. Therapy goals combined with experiences with the horses allow the participant to explore, problem solve, and discover strengths while working with their therapist.

Studies show that Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy has been helpful for clients in the following areas: assertiveness, emotional awareness, empathy, frustration/stress tolerance, flexibility, impulse control, problem-solving skills, self-actualization, independence, self-regard, social responsibility, interpersonal relationships, grief/loss, ADD/ADHD, anxiety/depression, and trauma.

Please visit our website for more information about EAP and how to get started!
