Remote mental health resources The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting more than just people’s physical health. For those fighting a mental illness, the coronavirus may feel like a personal nightmare come to life. According to a recent poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 56 percent of Americans reported that COVID-19 has proven to be detrimental to their mental health. Understandably, between numerous safety measures and social distancing, it can become easy to feel a little lost during this time. Unfortunately, this has also led to a disconnection from traditional support systems. But the term “social distancing” does not mean that you have to go into social isolation. Luckily, the digital age is here, and finding new and helpful support systems may only be just a few clicks away.

Teen Mental Health – A Guide for Parents Your child’s teenage years are an exciting time, but they can be tricky too. With hormones going wild and bigger pressures at school, challenging mood swings are par for the course. With mental ill-health on the rise though, you’ll want to keep watch on whether their moods are normal, or if they need a bit of help. Today one in five teens has a diagnosable mental health condition. And on average, people wait 8-10 years after first experiencing mental health problems before seeking help. Of course, if problems are noticed and tackled when they first come up, you can help your child with the tools they need to be happy sooner rather than later. If you think that your teen needs some professional help, find out if they can see a school counsellor, or if it’s more serious, their GP can help you work out a plan of action together. There are lots of common issues that you can help your teen with if you have the right tips. Keep reading for a break-down of some key pain-points, and what you can to do help as a parent.

77 Public Health Resources for Addressing Youth Mental Health Mental illnesses are inextricably linked to all other physical health outcomes and disease burdens across societies. Depression, anxiety and other psychological disorders can lead to rising youth suicide rates and other severe comorbidities that affect entire communities, especially during a global pandemic. Symptoms of mental health concerns typically develop between ages 12 and 24, but most mental illnesses aren’t diagnosed until later in life (PDF, 135 KB). Proactively addressing youth mental health concerns is a pressing matter for communities worldwide, and public health professionals are uniquely poised to help. Whether they work in schools, clinics, community centers or nonprofits, public health professionals who are attuned to the mental health needs of children and adolescents can effectively identify and address concerns and consult organizations on practices that best contribute to young people’s development.

How Eating Disorders Co-Occur With Substance Abuse What Are Eating Disorders? How Often Do Eating Disorders and Substance Abuse Co-Occur? Similarities Between Eating Disorders and Substance Abuse Shared Risk Factors Warning Signs of Co-Occurring Eating Disorders and Addiction Treatment Considerations Eating disorders can wreak destruction throughout a person’s life, much like substance abuse can. When eating disorders and substance abuse co-occur, the effects can be devastating unless treatment help is found. In today’s age of staying fit and looking thin, it’s easy to see how an eating disorder can get started. Granted, not everyone falls prey to these types of societal pressures, those who do have plenty of cues to follow. As with most any chronic condition, eating disorders can take on lives of their own and place those affected at risk of developing other problems, like substance abuse.
