It’s #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. Research shows that CBT is effective in reducing suicidal thoughts and behaviours (Mewton & Andrews, 2016). If you or someone you know struggles with suicidality, please visit https://t.co/nR73JcsKXo for crisis and treatment resources.

September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day. This tree stands in memory of someone I lost to suicide. So to me, every day is suicide prevention day. If you know someone who is hurting, reach out. If you are hurting, reach out. It's okay, we can talk about our mental health.

Back to the books! For me, the new year tends to start in the Fall. September brings new beginnings...new teachers, new classes, new friends...and for some, new challenges. As you ensure that your child has everything they need, be sure to check in on their mental wellness.

How are our children feeling?

Instead of searching, it's okay to watch, to notice, to just be...

Sometimes we need to Do Less to Be More. After all, we're human beings not human doings. (Someone said that once & I liked It) It's okay to sit back sometimes and just float.

Things may get bad, really bad. The power is in realizing that it won't last. It doesn't have to last. We can start again Every Single Day if we need or want to. ⁠

We can always start again...@iamnikiwalters said that yesterday and it made me think. I took this photo after the Kilauea Volcano eruption. The ground was black and the trees were burned, yet there was new life. ⁠

So, the next time you feel stressed, go outside, find a tree, breathe deep and let the alphas come.

Did you know that spending time in nature can change our brainwave activity? It's true. Being in nature increases alpha brainwaves. The alphas are our "feel calm and focused" brainwaves.
