    MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

    The Perth Family of Schools is presenting a series of free Mental Health Awareness workshops at The Stewart School. Each presentation will start at 6:00 p.m. with a light luncheon at 5:30 p.m. Child care is available with prior notice. These presentations are brought to you through The UCDSBs Parents Reaching Out Grant. Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014 Youth Depression, Mood Disorders and Suicidal Behaviours Dr. Laura Armstrong is an Assistant Professor in the School of Counselling, Psychotherapy and Spirituality at Saint Paul University. She is also a practicing Clinical Psychologist. She will be addressing youth depression, mood disorders and suicidal thoughts and behaviours. What can we do at home to promote positive mental health? Dr. Armstrong has recently been on CBC Radio discussing these issues. Wednesday, April 9th, 2014 Open Doors presents Separation & Divorce: Minimizing the Impact This presentation is aimed at helping parents learn practical strategies for keeping kids out of the middle of divorce. Topics will include: what children wish their parents knew about divorce, how to talk to your children about divorce, reactions to separation and divorce by developmental stage, adjusting to blended families, and how best to support your child and yourself through this transitional period. Information will also be provided about available services which may be helpful to your family at this time. Wednesday, April 16th, 2014 Happiness and Mental Health Health Essentials for Parents Marylou MacFarlane is a Mental Health Counsellor and Psychiatric Nurse. She will discuss how we as parents can build on the strengths of our children to make them more resilient and happy. She has recently spoken at a D.I.F.D. luncheon and is an engaging and interactive speaker. Wednesday, April 23rd, 2014 Open Doors and Public Health presents Transitions Life is about dealing with changes, but some transitions or changes seem bigger than others. For example, the transition to High School can be a big adjustment for kids and their families. This practical workshop will focus on the kinds of things parents can do which will help their child be more resilient or bounce and flex with stresses in their life. These are learned skills and not personality traits everyone can work on this. Thursday, April 24th, 2014 Just Say Know: Kids and Drugs A Conversation There can be a lot of fear when it comes to our kids and drugs. Factual, balanced and open discussions will be more constructive than not talking, or relying on fear-based education that only encourages our kids to just say no. What are you hearing? What are you seeing? What questions do you have? Wednesday, April 30th, 2014 Meet Calvin Calvin Neufeld and his mother will present about mental illness, depression, self-harm, the journey towards health, parenting in such challenging situations, how to find support for yourself and how to work with the school on behalf of your child. Calvins journey to self-acceptance has an emphasis on suicide prevention, truth, love, happiness and making quality of life a priority.
