Celebration Place

“You may not realize it, but chances are a child or adolescent you know has a serious mental health need. In fact, mental health problems affect one in five young people.

Mental health problems are painful—emotionally, spiritually and socially—especially for children and adolescents. Words that make fun of mental health create a sense of shame, feelings of guilt and loss of self-esteem. Children and adolescents exposed to such a negative view of themselves feel rejected, lonely and isolated. For a child with a mental health problem, this “stigma” is often the greatest barrier to a complete and satisfying life.

But you can help. There are many things that parents and caregivers can do to support children’s emotional health and well-being. Make a commitment to help the children and adolescents in your life. May—officially recognized as “Mental Health Month” by Congress since 1949—is the perfect time for parents and caregivers to focus on children’s and adolescents’ mental health. You can demonstrate your support for Mental Health Month by:

  • Learning more about mental well-being in children.
  • Celebrating the accomplishments and strengths of children.
  • Fostering self-worth and independence in children.
  • Helping children express their feelings.
  • Promoting mutual respect and trust.
  • Recognizing the strengths in all children.
  • Appreciating each child’s uniqueness.
  • Encouraging individual talents.
  • Helping children set goals based on their abilities and interests.
  • Showing confidence in their ability to handle problems and tackle new experiences.”

Now go and help make a difference!

Gain Knowledge, Support, and Friendships

Teamwork!

No one said growing up was going to be easy, but it can be a whole lot easier if you have the right support system in place and the right tools available.  Unfortunately, life didn’t come with an instruction manual (although  . . . most of us are guilty of hastily bypassing the directions anyway.)

At Haven Corporation we recognize that sometimes our natural responses to a given situation aren’t always the best approach.  Many times our natural responses get us in trouble.   We believe in educating kids and families on how to best deal with circumstances and people that life tosses our way.  We call it “giving you tools” to allow you to make better decisions along the way.

Another cool thing that Haven Corporation allows you to do is to connect with others like you, who are also dealing with some of the same hardships.  Let’s face it . . . it’s comforting knowing that we aren’t the only one going through some tough stuff.  Learn how others have overcome some of their challenges and see if the same will work for you.  Don’t feel that you’re all alone . . . many of us need a little direction and support during trying times in our lives, whether we’re 16 or 60.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help and be honest with yourself and others.  You’ll meet some really cool counselors who have a ton of experience working with kids and families and have been very successful in helping them deal with “real” issues in a very “real” way.
