Resources for Teen Mental Health
In alignment with our mission to empower and restore families, we’ve compiled mental health resources for teens to inform, educate, and inspire our greater community. As a teen treatment program, we’re dedicated to helping young people and families live healthier, happier lives.
While getting teens to talk about their feelings isn’t a walk in the park, it`s an important thing to work on, as teens who maintain good communication with their parents engage in fewer risk-taking behaviors.
There are different approaches that parents, other loved ones, and mentors can use. Scroll through to learn them and let us know ... have you tried any of them? Did it work? Why? Why not?
✨Do you have any tips you`ve crafted yourself? Share them in the comments so that more parents can try it, too! 👇

In a 2022 study, 94% of people said they believe that suicide CAN be prevented and 96% said they would take action to help prevent suicide if someone close to them was at risk.
The problem is that while suicide is the second leading cause of death in young people, 2 out of 3 people say they don’t have the knowledge to tell if someone is struggling. Preventing suicide can never start too early, but it can be too late and it all starts with a question.
Check in with your teens, whether they seem happy or not. Ask questions, show that you’re available and that the world is a better place with them in it. Together we can change these statistics. If you or someone you knowing in crisis, call 988.

On this week of #BIPOCMentalHealthAwareness month, we`re giving space to the AAPI community and the barriers to seeking care that exist within the community. It`s important to remember that the AAPI community is made up of more than 40 different ethnicities with different languages, religion, education, culture, and immigration patterns.
Stigma remains one of the top reasons that deter adolescents from talking about their struggles and asking for help. Aside from that, for some AAPI communities, notably Asian Americans, the stigma is reinforced by the “model minority” stereotype—the idea that people from a particular ethnic background are always hardworking, academically gifted, and successful. This myth puts pressure on younger generations to hide their emotional struggles as they attempt to live up to an imagined ideal.
The first step to a healthier mindset is for families to realize how the stigma and pressure can affect their teens` mental health and work on not adding additional stress. It’s important for parents to keep the lines of communication open with their children, discussing their concerns and thoughts on a regular basis.
Together, we can move forward into a future where all teens are free to be whoever they want to be, independent of familial and peer pressure to perform according to sterotypes.

This week, for #BIPOCMentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we`re discussing the obstacles the African American community faces when seeking help for mental health.
When considering the mental health of African Americans, it’s important to consider historical and cultural factors, as well as cultural stigma, like the idea that needing mental health treatment is a sign of weakness.
Two more major barriers to entry are justified mistrust of the medical field due to historical events, and the lack of culturally competent care. That`s why Newport pledges to do our part to expand access to high-quality care for BIPOC youth and their families:
1. We`re providing our clinicians with the appropriate training to become more culturally competent.
2. We`re continually expanding our partnerships with insurance companies, both in and out of network, to make our services financially accessible.
3. We`re taking steps to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.
4. We`re actively campaigning to reduce stigma around seeking mental healthcare.
5. We give families information and resources about how to move from mental health awareness to action.
What else can we do as a society to ensure BIPOC folks feel safe seeking help?

The effects of trauma on BIPOC communities have long-lasting mental health impacts. Atrocities such as slavery, colonization, cultural eradication, and race-based terrorism play out across generations of families as complex trauma.
Within families and cultures, intergenerational trauma is passed down from those who directly experience a traumatic event to the generations that come after them. With that comes the stigma around seeking mental healthcare and the pressure to hide emotional struggles.
We can`t change the disproportionate amount of trauma and displacement the BIPOC community suffered through history, but we can all come together as individuals to support them and create a safe space where we all feel comfortable to lean in and ask for the best care we deserve.
This month, we`ll do that by sharing some insights each week on a different BIPOC community, starting with the Latinx community. Our hope is that this will open the floor for conversation and arm each and every one of us with knowledge to become that safe space our friends need. 🤗

Research on LGBTQ+ youth mental health has consistently shown that support from parents and peers leads to greater self-acceptance, enhanced well-being, and a lower risk of suicide. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Today is our final #ResilienceMonday. Before we get into our tool #5—activate your character strengths—take a moment to leave a comment to let us know if you tried any of the tips we shared this month. If yes, how did it feel? Share something you learned as you went through the process.
Now for tool #5: Character strengths. Character strengths reflect who you are at your core. And studies show that knowing and activating your strengths creates long-term benefits, including higher levels of happiness and lower levels of depression.
Parents, take a moment to reflect on your strengths, like your connections with friends or at your workplace. Now imagine a future in which you are bringing your best possible self forward. Make note of the strengths you`ll need to activate to make that self a reality. You might want to come up with a phrase or object that will help bring your best self to mind.
Teens, a great exercise is to make a list of inspiring real-life people and characters from a book, movie, or TV. Think about their strengths and write them down. Now think of yourself and your strengths. Reflect on what you share with the people and characters that you wrote down... What are the common strengths? What is one of your strengths you overlooked? How can you put your strengths to use daily?
"It`s important to flip that negative internal dialogue by focusing on what each individual is good at and enjoys.” —Ryan Fedoroff, Vice President, Learning and Development, Newport Healthcare

Research shows that volunteering offers mental and physical health benefits that strengthen your resilience. So for today`s #ResiliencyMonday tool, we are talking about giving to others.
We know parents are always giving to their children, but what are some small practical or mindset changes that can bring more connection in you life as a family? A few good ones are: Put away your phone when talking to your kids, schedule 1-on-1 time with them if that`s rare, listen carefully without interrupting, or ask them to share something they love or are currently obsessed with.
Teens can utilize this tool by doing something kind for someone every day. It can be something as small as holding the door open for someone or complimenting a friend—or something that takes a little more time and effort, like taking a neighbor`s dog for a walk when they`re sick or calling an older relative to see how they`re doing. These gestures are simple, yet they can make a huge difference in other people`s lives.
“If you’re having a particularly hard day, it can feel like the hardest thing in the world to reach out to another human, and yet that is often the connection we need the most.” —Jennifer Dragonette, PsyD, Newport Clinical Services Instructor

Welcome to week 3 of #ResilienceMondays ...Today is all about gratitude. By consciously activating a sense of gratitude, we can enhance our happiness levels and strengthen our overall resilience.
Parents, why don`t you create a family gratitude jar? Decorate a jar with anything you find beautiful and leave it in a common area of the house. Cut up little slips of paper and leave them in a bowl next to the jar with a few colorful markers, and invite family members to stop by once a day to reflect on what they`re grateful for and write it down on a slip of paper. When the jar is full, or on a pre-determined day, read each paper one by one and savor the good memories and experiences you`ve had as a family!
Teens, find a small object that feels good to hold or has an interesting texture and carry it with you every day. Whenever you see or touch this object, pause to remember something you`re grateful for that day. When you take it our of your pocket for the day, you can look back on the things that made you feel good that day.
"Gratitude is a choice. It`s a muscle we can strengthen through daily practice." —Michel Menneson, MD, Newport Psychiatrist

Happy #ResilienceMonday ! If you`re unsure what we`re talking about, go back to last week`s post. We promise, it`s worth it!
Today we have resiliency tool #2... Self-compassion. Self-compassion means extending the same kindness and forgiveness to yourself as you would to a friend or loved one. Parents, a great way to achieve that is through supportive touch. When you`re feeling stressed, take 2 or 3 deep and satisfying breaths. Place your hands on your chest, feeling the gentle pressure and warmth of your hands. Feel the natural rising and falling of your chest as you breathe. Linger with this calming feeling for as long as you like.
Teens: Think about a time when a close friend felt bad about themselves. How would you/did you respond? Now write that down in the exact tone and words you would say to a friend. Next, think of a time you felt bad and how you speak to yourself. Write that down.... Do you notice a difference? Ask yourself why and next time you`re struggling, try talking to yourself the way you would to a close friend.
"Notice how much you invest in those who you find worthy of love, and treat yourself as you would those people" —Leigh McInnis, LPC, Newport Executive Director

People with higher levels of emotional resilience have an easier time adapting to stressful situations or crises. So for this year`s #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth we`ll be sharing tips every Monday on how to build resilience, with our #ResilienceMonday series. These are small tips that can be applied daily and can make a difference in your life and your teens` life. Follow us so you don`t miss them!
Today we start with tool #1... Mindfulness. Mindfulness is a state of being present, in the moment, with nonjudgmental awareness.
Parents, you can practice this when times are tough and it feels like you`re at the end of the rope with your kids: Step away, sit quietly with your eyes closed and breathe normally. Bring your attention to your breath by repeating phrases like "breathing in, breathing out..." When a thought comes into your mind, without judgment, label it as a "thought" and let it float out of your mind. Gently bring your attention back to your breath. Practice for as long or as short a time as you can/need.
Teens, when things get though: Try Child`s Pose. From hand and knees, drop your butt down to your heels. Soften your belly, rest your forehead on the floor, extend your arms forward with palms facing down and breathe in for a slow count of 5, then breathe out for a slow count of 5. Stay here for as long as you wish.
Happy mindfulness!

The American Psychological Association reports that 81% of teens experience intense stress.
But when does stress become distress? When does distress evolve to something more serious, like an anxiety disorder? As parents, it`s important to pay attention to symptoms as we help support our teens.
