We’ve been hard at work brainstorming ways we can bring you more resources, tools, and ways to engage with mental health topics in a meaningful way. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce a brand new tool in our mental health toolkit: our printable Gratitude & Self-Care Journal!

We know it’s tough to talk about mental health. It’s like trying to navigate a dense forest with no map – confusing, scary, and full of unknowns. But here’s the thing: we’re all about making this forest less scary. So, grab your compass and let’s get started.

When we lose someone close to us, the world turns upside down. When that loss comes from suicide, it’s like a tsunami of emotions. It’s important to remember that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed, and it’s okay to not have all the answers. If you’re a teenager dealing with such a loss, we’re here for you. We have a valuable resource that can help, titled “Suicide Loss: What Teens Need to Know.”

Navigating the turbulent years of adolescence can be a challenging journey. As teenagers, you’re not just dealing with physical changes, but emotional and psychological transformations too. This guide aims to help you understand what’s going on inside your mind, why it’s happening, and how to maintain positive mental health during your teenage years.

So you’ve clicked on this blog because you’re a bit curious, maybe feeling a bit down, or perhaps you’re just trying to understand more about mental health. First, let me give you a digital high-five for taking that step. This journey through the wild terrain of teen mental health won’t be boring. We’re going to chat about the real stuff – the good, the bad, the confusing, and the downright scary. We’re breaking down the stigma, one word at a time.

Grief can be an incredibly isolating experience, often leaving one feeling alone and adrift in a sea of sorrow. It’s a path we all have to walk at some point in our lives, and it’s a journey that can be made slightly easier when shared with those who understand. One such haven of support and understanding is Peter’s Place.

Welcome to a space where we can freely talk about something we all have in common, our busy and ever-buzzing teenage minds. We know it’s challenging. One moment you’re worried about an upcoming test, the next you’re stressing over what to wear to the next school event, or maybe you’re overwhelmed by the latest friendship drama. It’s a rollercoaster, right? So, how about we chat about something that can help? It’s called mindfulness.

In our continued mission to provide resources that support mental health, we would like to spotlight a significant online tool: the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) website.

Navigating mental health challenges is never easy, but an integral part of the journey is learning to openly communicate about these issues. Yet, initiating these conversations can often feel daunting. That’s why we’re here to help. We want to arm you with the necessary tips and strategies to start conversations about mental health, whether you’re addressing your own challenges or supporting others.

This collection of resources is an essential guide for those seeking help for themselves or others who are facing a crisis situation, including the risk of suicide. The guide covers a wide array of options ranging from immediate emergency response to specific mental health condition resources.
