Navigating Conversations Concerning Your Child's Mental Health with Educators and Practitioners

Navigating Conversations Concerning Your Child's Mental Health with Educators and Practitioners This discussion is a focus on navigating conversations, with both educators and mental health practitioners, concerning your children 's mental health and well-being.   It's important that each of us cultivate the tools to effectively communicate on behalf of children, whose mental health might be called into question by educators and practitioners, who may be well meaning, though out of line.  In these trying times, everyone's mental health has been an area of active focus, as we are all figuring out how best to adapt. While it's great that we can have open discussions regarding our mental health and mental well-being, that doesn't change the fact that these conversations and any disclosures are still very personal.    Establishing boundaries, and knowing when and how to limit intrusive rhetoric, when it comes to the subject of your or your child's mental health is crucial.   #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Wellness #EstablishLimits #Boundaries #Protocol #Education #Reform #IntrusiveRhetoric #Toolkit   #Education #MentalHealth #CrucialConversations      *RESOURCES*  - Rates of Mental Health Misdiagnosis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3184591/   - Nearly 1 million children misdiagnosed with ADHD: https://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2010/nearly-1-million-children-potentially-misdiagnosed-with-adhd   - Can the School Require My Child to Take ADHD Medication?: https://www.understood.org/en/learning-thinking-differences/treatments-approaches/medications/can-a-school-make-medication-a-requirement-for-my-child-to-attend   - Medical negligence: Coverage of the profession, duties, ethics, case law, and enlightened defence  - A legal perspective: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2779963/   For all topics related to renewing and rebuilding family, communities and relationships, check out our blogs!  We post bi-weekly:  https://www.spe-projectpurpose.com/blogs   Make sure to come visit us, subscribe to the website, and join our Member's Area for more valuable content:   *SOCIALS* Website: www.spe-projectpurpose.com  Facebook Page: @ProjectPurposeSPE  Instagram: @ProjectPurposeSPE or my personal account @realistrae  Twitter: @Purpose_SPE  Pinterest: @ProjectPurposeSPE   YouTube: Project Purpose SPE If you'd like to read my research thesis, "ADHD: Is it a Social Construct or does it have a Neurophysiological Basis?" you can find it at the following address: https://rachellerealist.wordpress.com​.   I'm more than happy to answer your questions, feel free to send an email to: [email protected]   The pre-recorded parent-child workshops are on the way for children between the ages of 4-8; 9-13; and 14-17.  Be sure to subscribe to the website to know once they have been released!   Do you like the intro/outro music?  Check out the artist on Spotify:  Artist Name: Valdii Song Name: I Learn
