There are several structural changes needed to humanize mental health care, one of which is to review and transform protocols that prioritize control over the therapeutic relationship.
First-person experience in mental health refers to the knowledge gained through direct experience of mental health problems and the treatments received.
Many women experience mental health challenges during pregnancy, childbirth, or the months that follow. If you are going through this phase of life, it is crucial to take care of your mental health, identify any potential problems, and address them. Is it normal not to enjoy new motherhood? Could I have postpartum depression? How can I cope with the anxiety and fears of being a mother? How can we help a mother who has just lost her baby?
There is growing concern about the observed increase in self-harm among adolescents. The rise in non-suicidal self-injury (NSI) reflects the accumulated distress experienced by children and young people over the past two years, although this behavior was first observed 8-10 years ago. Another worrying aspect is that this behavior is starting at increasingly younger ages. In this session, we hope to answer all your questions and provide tools to understand the origins of this behavior, how to recognize it, how to react, and how to seek help, as well as how to manage these cases in the classroom.
