Today marks #WorldMentalHealthDay2021, a day dedicated to raising awareness of #mentalhealthissues. Depression and anxiety are among the most common #mentalhealthconditions experienced by young people. Did you know that 1 in 7 young men between ages 16 and 24 experience depression or anxiety each year? However, evidence shows that boys disconnect from #healthcareservices during adolescence. While girls are encouraged to talk about their feelings, boys are still socialized to be “tough” and to “man up” when they express vulnerability or self-doubt. As a result, teen boys are far less likely than girls to talk with friends or family about their mental health. 👆🏻👆🏼👆🏾👆 on our #linkinbio to learn how you can push those barriers and start the conversion
The recent school shooting in Newport News, Virginia, has brought concerns about trauma and mental health to the forefront, as dozens of students witnessed the incident. In 2020, Virginia legislators required schools to grant excused absences to students due to mental or #behavioralhealth challenges. However, local school divisions appear to have different policies governing this issue.
@wavynews10 spoke with Newport Academy's Executive Director in Virginia, Leigh McInnis, LPC, about the long-term effects of traumatic incidents like #schoolshootings, what parents can do to make mental health days more effective, and how to help teens who might be suffering from #posttraumaticstressdisorder.
Newport Academy would like to wish everyone a happy #nationalyogamonth! We invite you to take a pause from your day and try this simple #breathingexercise that will relax your body and calm your mind:
Sit comfortably in a chair with your feet on the floor and hands in your lap.
Inhale slowly through your nose, for a count of four, allowing the air to fill your belly. As you breathe, visualize a soft blue or white light washing through your body.
Hold the breath in for a count of four.
Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of four.
Hold the breath out for a count of four.
Repeat three times.
Share this moment of well-being: Forward this to a friend or colleague.
If you were not aware that yesterday was #nationalvideogamesday, your teen probably was. The #videogameindustry is the largest entertainment industry today, topping movies and music combined.

How can you tell if your teen is suffering from #gamingaddiction or just an avid player? Go to our #linkinbio 👆🏻👆🏼👆🏾👆to learn how to identify the warning signs, help prevent the disorder, and find the right treatment solution.
Did you know that suicide is the 4th leading cause of death among 15- to 29-year-olds globally, and 1 in 4 young adults in the US have contemplated suicide during the pandemic? We can all be a part of the change that needs to happen—through sharing resources, connecting people to #mentalsupport, and being a voice of hope. This year marks our 5th year partnering with @twloha to help change these statistics by offering a matching donation grant to their 2021 fundraising campaign, #AnotherDayWithYou.

Recently, the WHO reported an updated worldwide statistic: 700,000 people die by suicide globally each year. For the last few years, that number was 800,000, proving that suicide prevention efforts are making a difference. However, the work is not done. The truth of this heartbreaking statistic is that for every 100 deaths, one will be by suicide.

As we combat the pandemic and look back on the last year, the individual and collective losses associated with COVID-19 can seem overwhelming. And teens are often particularly sensitive to these losses. It is essential for parents and caregivers to not only recognize and acknowledge #teengrief, but also to help them work through the emotional repercussions of COVID-19 losses. Go to our #linkinbio 👆🏻👆🏼👆🏾👆to learn how you can help your teen start to process and heal the feelings of loss.
