If i'm having a rough day I am not very nice to myself and vice versa. https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2186393029 2022-05-16 20:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2186393029 By talking about our personal experiences, we can make it a norm https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2186395057 2022-05-16 20:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2186395057 We are in a rural area and have very little options. https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2186395685 2022-05-16 20:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2186395685 Find a friend you can vent to that has had a similar experience and get yourself a counselor. https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2186396573 2022-05-16 20:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2186396573 Give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

If they facility is clean and the staff are helpful and nice then it should be a good place. Also if families came from a different culture the facility should be able to have services in their language.]]> 2023-06-01 20:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2612181871 Acceptance sgregory68 https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2621434668 We can create acceptance by just learning about other people's differences and not judging right away about the way they look or dress. Anyone can have a mental health crisis from the ages of 1-99 anyone can have one. We need to normalize how to help someone and recognize the symptoms of a crisis. Also we don't need to publish anyone's traumatic story just to have acceptance in the community. People need to understand some youth and children can't help themselves and if the adults can't accept that the youth need specific help we can't get anywhere. ]]> 2023-06-12 19:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2621434668 Pace Yourself sgregory68 https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2621438659 It is important that both youth and professional worker to pace themselves so they won't get overwhelmed. If the youth isn't ready for a specific therapy group or class then don't force it upon them. The youth could get more triggered and have a negative response to the therapy that is suppose to help them. Just pace yourself, recovery is not a race nor is it a competition for completion. Recovery is one step at a time and to heal from something might take longer than others. Everyone moves at their own time so do not rush someone. ]]> 2023-06-12 19:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2621438659 Find Patience sgregory68 https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2621444267 Being a parent with a child that has a mental instability issue can be challenging sometimes. The best thing you can do if you are a parent is have a patience in your child. They can recover and become better ! It wouldn't be fair to the child since they are trying to get better everyday with therapy or enrolled in a care plan of some sort. Healing takes time as well. ]]> 2023-06-12 20:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/YMCO/j2rasvg8sqijzm0o/wish/2621444267
