This coming June 17th, we’re highlighting an important topic that often goes unspoken – fathers’ mental health. 💙 Fatherhood is an incredible journey, filled with joy and challenges. But too often, the mental health struggles of dads are overlooked. It’s time we change that. 🔹 To all the fathers out there: Your mental health matters. It’s okay to ask for help, to take time for yourself, and to speak up about how you’re feeling. You’re not alone. 🔹 To everyone else: Let’s support the dads in our lives. Check in on them, listen without judgment, and encourage open conversations about mental health. Join us in spreading awareness and breaking the stigma around fathers’ mental health. Share this post and use the hashtag #FathersMentalHealth to show your support. Together, we can create a supportive community for all fathers. 💬 Tell us: How do you support the mental health of the fathers in your life? Share your stories and tips in the comments below. #InternationalFathersMentalHealthDay #FathersMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #SupportDads #EndTheStigma

When is it the right time to get help with mental health? Anytime is a good time to ask for support for you or your child. Here's one perspective from Fiona Hannah (TMH's Clinical Director) thinking about this question. #mentalhealth #therapy #support #children #teenage #adult #adolescent #GetHelp https://lnkd.in/gqaB7Qk6

During Collaborative Therapy Month for Mental Health Awareness, let's shed light on depression by the numbers: 🔹 Depression is the No.1 leading cause of disability in the U.S. 🔹 It's estimated to cost $180 Billion in the U.S. 🔹 In 2022, there were between 45,000 to 50,000 deaths by suicide in the U.S., averaging to 1 suicide every 11 minutes. 🔹 Shockingly, 50% of adults struggling with depression do not receive treatment. Let's use these statistics to spark conversations, increase understanding, and advocate for accessible mental health support for all. Together, we can make a difference. 💙 #CollaborativeTherapyMonth #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma"

Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition — but #mentalillness affects everyone directly or indirectly through family, friends or coworkers. That is why each year, during the first week of October, the National Alliance on Mental Health and participants across the country raise awareness, fight discrimination and provide support. In a 2021 survey, 71% of #lawyers surveyed said they suffered from anxiety which is up 5% from the previous year. Similarly, 38% said they suffered from depression, up 35% from the previous year. Mental health conditions are important to discuss all year, but this week provides a dedicated time for mental health advocates across the country to come together as one unified voice. #MentalHealthMatters #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek

Here’s a thought: Imagine if we applied the Golden Rule - treating others as we would want to be treated - to mental health referrals. Many individuals seeking help are met with barriers, confusion, and frustration. If we were in their shoes, wouldn't we want a clear, accessible, and welcoming pathway to care? Instead of leaving individuals to navigate the complex referral process on their own, what if we provided them with a supportive, intuitive, and efficient system? A system that respects their time, their needs, and their right to privacy and quality mental health care. As professionals in the mental health field, we have a responsibility to make this a reality. We have the knowledge, the tools, and the collective power to transform the referral process!

Since June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, We need to talk about something that's often brushed under the rug: men's mental health. These stats are eye-opening and show why this conversation is so important: 🔹 1 in 8 men will experience depression at some point. 🔹 3 out of 4 suicides are men. It’s heartbreaking that suicide is the second leading cause of death for men aged 15-29. 🔹 Men are less likely to seek help because of society pressures and stigma. 🔹 Around 10% of new fathers deal with postpartum depression and anxiety. These numbers aren't just statistics. They represent the men we know and love our dads, brothers, friends, and colleagues. It's time to break the silence and support each other. Let's start some important conversations today. Together, we can create a supportive environment where everyone feels safe to seek help and talk about their struggles. #MensMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma #SupportEachOther #depression #anxiety #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
