Perspective - Human Psychology

Covid has been here for 9+ months now...and winter is looming. Mental health issues related to our lock down and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression and other mental health disorders. NAMI, The National Alliance on Mental Illness, has a 24-hour helpline: 800-950-6264. The relapse and overdose rate has increased by 30% since March 2020.
I’m asking my small corner of FB to follow suit: Could any two of my Facebook friends just copy and repost to share the helpline far and wide?
Just two. Any two. Say done.

Children Grieve Differently than Adults!

When a child grieves, you might not even realize that they're grieving because kids process and display complex emotions differently than adults

Look out for these signs, coupled with a history of loss, you should definitely suspect your child is struggling to deal with a loss, time to talk to your pediatrician.. so that he / she can assess your child's needs and refer you to a suitable care provider.

There’s no timeline when it comes to grief, no matter what a person’s age, and it’s not productive to suggest that it’s time for a kid to “get over it.” The grief may last a lifetime, but with support, grief can turn into healing for the whole family.
