Words of Life 5-minute

As many of our kids begin a new school year- we wanted to pause and offer a mental health check-in with your kids. A new year can mean a new level of stress for many. So, to offer some advice and insight we are joined by licensed therapist, David Gray.

As our kids are now back to school, we wanted to take this time to offer a mental health check-in for parents to check on their kids' stress levels and general mental health as they begin a new school year. We are joined by licensed therapist and social worker, David Gray, MSW, LCSW. David works for the Lanier Practice and he offers tons of insights for parents of school-aged kids.   For more information, check out the links below provided by David.   Suicide Hotline:  Dial -  988 https://988lifeline.org/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=onebox [https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3A%2F%2F988lifeline.org%2F%3Futm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dweb%26utm_campaign%3Donebox&c=E,1,yiu-dYwuVGWxbfxZ5nuOJA7xK-UfuPJ2bv-oWxmWFdQVO5YlptHiTSVx1OC8_uoM2y0f0C1vxITar7Ev9svcMRPuSkTsRUPzQ9jYqP9kYfC-TDRxvPmn&typo=1] A free, confidential service that's available 24/7, 365 days a year, in English and Spanish. The helpline can provide referrals to local treatment facilities, support groups, and community-based organizations. The number is 1-800-662-HELP (4357), and TTY is 1-800-487-4889.   * National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Information Resource Center You can call the NIMH Information Resource Center at 1-866-615-6464, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM–5 PM ET. You can also contact them by live online chat or email at nimhinfo@nih.gov [nimhinfo@nih.gov].   Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration https://www.samhsa.gov/blog/back-to-school-and-mental-health-supporting-children [https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.samhsa.gov%2Fblog%2Fback-to-school-and-mental-health-supporting-children&c=E,1,rwKbf2lCHHge_yF3BAYn10dVF4weXrae7XQc415QCdB_nK0VAgkEgq8DsRzaX2xYyH4eH_qzfCAIF25DMLDIc4s55RLfD4jFjXgEqFKRbMfZlfRcI4n78R4,&typo=1]     Everyday Health Article – School Mental Health Guide   https://www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-health/back-to-school-mental-health-guide/ [https://www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-health/back-to-school-mental-health-guide/]   National Alliance on Mental Illness – Signs of mental health crisis   https://www.nami.org/kids/warning-signs-of-mental-illness-in-children/ [https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nami.org%2Fkids%2Fwarning-signs-of-mental-illness-in-children%2F&c=E,1,1IkUwYWGtP79LkT5kiyIoVMnl5JH06PxwkUKOk-20Cu3yTXbeRwcVUtmk0VnX4yVkcwISeqrzhOMm2mMzh65jes6M3GmOaPNZMSH0BZYEzgU9YG4elvM6ovq&typo=1]   Mayo Clinic  -
