    Sharing – Children in a mental health crisis can spend days languishing in the ER

    ByMikeM August 19, 2025August 19, 2025 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    What we don’t hear a lot about are the details, specifically, about what happens when the treatment resources don’t exist to meet the need. We may not think we are rounding up unhoused people and putting them in jails, but where do we think they will go when there aren’t enough treatment options? That’s going to include a lot of kids escaping abusive homes. Other kids end up hanging around the ER waiting for treatment if they aren’t in a penal facility already. Plenty of others remain in dangerous situations while they and their parents stay and search for somewhere to get treatment.

    ByMikeM August 9, 2025August 9, 2025 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Doing what we can to lift people out of poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, etc., is mental healthcare.

    Sharing – It takes a village to save a life

    ByMikeM August 7, 2025August 6, 2025 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Saving a life is not about having a hotline, though they do help. (If you’re struggling, you can find a list of resources here.) It’s not about offering advice like “touch grass” or exercise more. It’s about being in a community that will sit with us at our worst and reminds us that we can get through this because we are not going through it alone. 

    Too many of us are incapable of creating that community for our friends and family members. If we don’t, who will?

    Sharing – What 85 years of research says is the real key to happiness

    ByMikeM August 2, 2025August 2, 2025 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    If we want a happier world, we need to stop finding reasons to avoid people and find ways to connect with people, even those who are not like us.

    Sharing – New federal data show a decline in teen suicide

    ByMikeM July 31, 2025July 31, 2025 Reading Time: 1 minute

    It turns out that teens with safe places to talk about mental health and better access to resources are helped. There is still a lot of work to be done to close the gap between teens who need help and those who can get it, but this is the work that makes a difference in the lives of everyone when it comes to mental health. It’s also hard work. None of the possible reasons for the lower rate discussed in the article are overnight solutions. They take time, money, work, and dedication. Putting a warning label on the internet is easy, but it’s not clear that it has any effect.

    Sharing – Check out some books that prove mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all

    ByMikeM July 26, 2025July 26, 2025 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Not everyone has the same cultural background when it comes to treating mental health, and that can create a hurdle that is different than the hurdles we all face in dealing with our mental health. This post tries to acknowledge that and provide reading recommendations from some of those cultures.
