Youth and Self-Injury

Feb 28th, 2016

People cope with difficult thoughts, feelings, or situations in different ways. Some people cope by injuring themselves on purposeand it may be the only way for them to feel better. Self-injury may seem frightening, but its important to look beyond the injuries and see whats really going on.

Children, Youth, and Depression

Feb 27th, 2016

While we may think of low mood or other challenges as adult problems, they can affect people at any age. Children and teens can experience mental illnesses like depression. Sometimes it can be difficult for adults to understand how difficult childrens problems can be because we look at their problems through adult eyes. But the pressures of growing up can be very hard for some children. Its important that we remind ourselves that while their problems may seem unimportant to us, they can feel overwhelming to young people. Its important to take depression in young people seriously.
