Mental Health Awareness Month is ending, but the work isn’t. For therapists, parents and advocates, the mission continues every month. As we enter Pride Month, it’s crucial to remove the mental health challenges LGBTQIA+ youth still face.
According to the 2024 survey, 50% of LGBTQIA+ youth who wanted mental health care didn’t get it and the #1 reason… fear of talking about it.
That’s why we need to keep showing up, listening without judgement and being advocates so every young person feels safe, supported and valued.
Let’s keep this conversation going as we head into June 🌈 and every month after that!

💡Moment: When we see a big behavior, we know that under the yelling, slamming of the door and running away is just a big feeling that is waiting to be seen. When kids show these big behaviors, they are telling us a secret…⬇️

“I have a big feeling AND I don’t like it AND I don’t know what to do with it AND I need help!”
So next time you see that big behavior, remember this:
💡It might be hard, but my child is telling me they need me.
💡We all have feelings and they come and go.
💡I can be the person to help them through this feeling!

Not not us…..
When our brains are in overdrive all day long it’s hard to really turn them off. Our parasympathetic nervous system becomes overused and heightened. We need to find times to counteract this to allow our adrenaline to go down and stay down during times of rest. Therapy can help us do this! It’s a specified time for us to tune in to our bodies and let things go. Reach out today if you want to learn more! Jillian@thebarigroup.com

The power of AND. Not yet doesn’t mean never. Sometimes we get stuck in the same old tune AND it doesn’t mean we are stuck in that forever. When we shift perspectives, we shift action.

What is one mindset shift that helped you move forward? ⬇️

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to present on Su***de Prevention for School Professionals at the 2024 Annual Conference on Advancing School Mental Health Conference in Orlando! During this 3 hour intensive training session, I shared important information on data, myths, language, universal su***de screening measures and intervention and postvention procedures with school mental health professionals, district and state education officials, researchers and policymakers. Thank you to everyone dedicated to implementing universal su***de screenings in schools and continuing this vital work to keep ALL students safe.
