CLIENT CORNER! Maria* began seeing one of Familylinks’ behavioral health therapists to help overcome barriers related to anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Maria reported that while completing tasks, she would talk herself out of doing them because she felt that she would not be successful. During sessions with her therapist, Maria attempted small tasks and imitated the positive self-talk her therapist modeled. Maria became more comfortable and began using this technique outside of her sessions. Maria attributes her increased productivity and willingness to try new things to the support received from her Familylinks therapist. *Images and names do not represent actual clients of Familylinks.

This week is eating disorder awareness week. 30 million Americans are estimated to be suffering from an eating disorder, and most of these individuals have an underlying anxiety or depression disorder. If you notice a friend or family member exhibiting extreme concern for their body shape or size, or if they are frequently checking in the mirror for perceived flaws in their appearance, they may be suffering from an eating disorder. Eating disorders can cause lasting physical damage, so it’s important to seek support early. Familylinks' Outpatient Mental Health Clinic is available to offer education and therapeutic tools to help navigate this complex diagnosis. Contact us at 866-583-6003 or visit familylinks.org for more information.

CLIENT CORNER! Joel* had difficulty making friends at school. He often felt he couldn’t relate to his peers because of their different life experiences. Joel’s Supports Coordinator researched youth groups in his community and helped him choose one where he felt comfortable. Within this youth group, Joel has thrived and built meaningful friendships. These friendships have increased his self-esteem and confidence when talking to peers. *Names and images do not reflect actual clients of Familylinks.

This year’s Black History Month marks the 100th anniversary of its observance. This allows us the opportunity to emphasize the importance of remembering and celebrating the contributions of Black Americans. Some notable contributions include: Garrett Morgan, who created a more sophisticated traffic signal; Frederick McKinley Jones, who developed automatic refrigeration equipment used in long-haul trucking; and Marie van Brittan Brown, who created an early version of the modern home security system. These pioneers paved the way for a safer, healthier future.

CLIENT CORNER! Staff and clients at one of our residential sites were recently displaced due to a facilities issue. Emergency accommodations were made at another one of our facilities, and staff and clients were relocated. What could have been chaotic and disruptive for clients was treated as a learning opportunity by our dedicated staff. Clients practiced social skills with a different peer group and learned how to treat the home of a friend or family member they were visiting. Thanks to the professionalism and appropriate modeling skills by staff, clients in both programs experienced minimal disruption while continuing to work towards their individual goals.

This year’s Safer Internet Day theme focuses on artificial intelligence (AI). While AI can be a helpful tool for focusing our thoughts or tracking important data, it can also be used maliciously. Every day AI is getting more refined and harder to identify and is increasingly being used to create scam emails. If you receive an email that creates a sense of urgency, please do not click any links or call any phone numbers without verifying the sender. Help keep you and your family safe by using safer internet practices.

CLIENT CORNER! Today’s Client Corner is special because it features a firsthand account from one of our clients. Names have been omitted for privacy. “ I would like to inform you of my extraordinary care at Familylinks. For years, other doctors have given me medication but never helped me find a solution, and barely checked in. My doctor at Familylinks checks in weekly. She truly understands my mental health needs. Through Familylinks’ collaboration with my medical doctors, previously unknown conditions were identified and treated. I would compare my doctor to a gardener who, when presented with withering flowers and overgrown weeds, took the time to cultivate a beautiful garden. People like me need extraordinary doctors like her.”
