Family Therapy Center of Silicon Valley

There are so many pioneers in mental health that are often not recognized for their contributions. This month, we’re highlighting just a few of the historic contributions of African American psychologists, most of which have been long overlooked. #FamilytherapycenterSV #TeentherapycenterSV #familytherapycenterofsiliconvalley #teentherapycenterofsiliconvalley #TTC #getthehelpyoudeserve #overcomethedarkness #nojudgementzone #therapyclinic #mentalhealthhelpers #therapyclinicsoffacebook #therapyiscool #comeworkforus #prioritizementalhealth #joinus #FTC #blackhistorymonth2021 #blackpioneers

The constraints of a pandemic mean that teens are spending a lot more time indoors and on the internet. Social media, while a way for teens to stay connected to their community, can also spread misinformation that can leave an impact on impressionable teens. In February’s newsletter, we cover how to protect teens from propaganda, extremism, and misinformation online so that your teen can stay safe.

Happy National Wellness Month! This month is all about taking care of all of you, especially your mental health. Here are some tips that can help you kick up your wellness into high gear this month. 1) Be sure to take time to do the things you enjoy. Try doing these outside as time in nature is shown to reduce stress. 2) Take care of your spirit. This can mean different things depending on who you are. To some, this might mean finding a connection to a higher power, to nature..., to your inner self, or to your art. Find spiritual practices that help you feel great! 3) Make sure to take some time for yourself. It’s easy to always put others first, but you deserve to have time that is just for you. Take time to focus your interests, dreams for the future/goals, or activities that help you relax. 4) Engage in physical activity. Regular exercise is said to have a profound impact on mental disorders, stress, and boosts your overall mood. 5) Connect with others. Find someone to share with, laugh with, or cry with. Having a connection with others is an important part of maintaining your mental health and is actually shown to be the strongest determinant of longevity in humans! #FamilytherapycenterSV #TeentherapycenterSV #familytherapycenterofsiliconvalley #teentherapycenterofsiliconvalley #TTC #getthehelpyoudeserve #overcomethedarkness #nojudgementzone #therapyclinic #mentalhealthhelpers #therapyclinicsofinstagram #therapyiscool #comeworkforus #prioritizementalhealth #joinus #FTC #nationalwellnessmonth #maintaingmentalhealth #mentalhealthtips

Supporting a loved one with anxiety can be so tough. It is hard to know what to say and when to say it. Here are some helpful tips: Helpful: "Is there anything I can do to help?" or "What can you do that might help the worry?" (Unhelpful: "It is not worth worrying about. Why are you stressed about it? You are stressed about nothing, it isn't logical and not going to happen.") Helpful: "That sounds so awful. I'm proud of you for hanging in there." (Harmful: Everyone has anxie...ty, most people are stressed and you just have to deal with it.") Helpful: "I'm here for you. Let me know what you need." (Dismissive: Have you tried yoga, breathing or meditation? Helpful: "I'm glad you are getting the support you deserve!" (Hurtful: "Anxiety disorder? It sounds more like stress to me.") Struggling with anxiety can be exhausting and overwhelming, but you certainly don't have to do it alone. We are here to help.
