Monthly Update: May 2023 Panic Attacks: Recognizing One and What To Do People often joke that they are suffering from a “panic attack” without actually knowing what a panic attack is. Such talk only contributes to the stigma that surrounds panic disorder and around those who experience panic attacks. Knowing what to do when someone is experiencing a panic attack can have a major impact on them. Learn the signs and symptoms of panic attacks, how to respond if you or someone you know is having a panic attack, and how to overcome the stigma associated with panic attacks/panic disorder. Upcoming Webinar: Is It Fear, Anxiety, or Panic? Our brains are wired to leverage fear in response to perceived threats, and anxiety in response to threats that may or may not happen. But when fear grows too intense, it can lead to panic attacks. And when anxiety goes unchecked, it can impair our ability to function. Join us on Tuesday, May 30, as Nathaniel Van Kirk, PhD, breaks down both the helpful and unhealthy ways we respond to perceived and imagined threats, and offers tips for recognizing different fear and anxiety responses and knowing when to seek help. Dr. Van Kirk will also answer questions about panic and anxiety disorders and how they’re treated. How To Set Up Your Kids for Success: Focus on Their Mental Health Did you know that 50% of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14? Studies have shown that early diagnoses and interventions improve immediate outcomes. They also improve lifelong prospects for individuals with a range of mental health conditions. Learn why identifying potential mental health challenges in kids is important, some common treatment approaches for children and teens, and when to seek care from a mental health professional. Video: When Parting With Possessions Becomes Problematic Most everyone knows what it’s like to struggle with getting rid of one thing or another. It can be hard for any of us to part with an old photo album or perhaps a favorite sweater or book. In this previously recorded presentation, Jeff Szymanski, PhD, explains what hoarding disorder is and how it’s treated, offers tips for supporting someone living with hoarding disorder, and answers audience questions about clutter and the key distinctions between collecting and hoarding. May is Mental Health Awareness Month Mental Health Awareness Month, celebrated each year in May, highlights the importance of discussing behavioral and mental health openly and honestly. We are honored to be part of a movement to shift the conversation about behavioral and mental health from stigma to solutions. Please join other caring individuals and make a tax-deductible gift today to support McLean’s many efforts across our mission. mcleanhospital.org | 617.855.2000 McLean Hospital | 115 Mill Street | Belmont, MA 02478 Preferences | Unsubscribe

Exploring the Relationship Between Bullying and Substance Use webinarTue, May 23 2023, 11am-12pm PT (2 - 3pm ET)--Information & Registration here.

While researchers agree that students who participate in the cycle of bullying (victim, bullies, and bystanders) experience a higher risk for substance use, the explanations for this association are less clearly understood.  While these associations are not considered causal, through the study of the co-occurrence of bullying and substance use, we have learned more about the factors related to substance use which can be considered in preventive interventions. Despite the obvious utility of a brain-based understanding of addiction, researchers also acknowledge the contributions of environmental risk factors upon substance abuse. A particular environmental risk factor, bullying, which is common in childhood and adolescence, has not yet been adequately considered in the development of the use of and addictive behaviors to substances. In this presentation, Dr. Laura Crothers will discuss the relationship between substance use (predictive or a consequence) and perpetration of bullying or victimization through bullying, the risks of both behaviors, and recommendations for educators in addressing these common problems of childhood and adolescence. Mr. Chuck Klevgaard will draw on his experience in collective impact and prevention-focused partnerships to share his understanding of the relationship between substance use and bullying and discuss prevention resources available to providers. This webinar will be moderated by Dr. Charles Irwin, an active member of the Children’s Safety Now Alliance (CSN-A).

Hello friends, and colleagues,

A group of about 20 of us from OEA (Oregon Educators Association) members and OEA staff the opportunity to learn from and with Hanif and his team in an equity facilitator training last summer through a workshop that his company, CEI (Center for Equity & Inclusion), put on at OEA . Hanif is a phenomenal human, a wonderful speaker, and skillful facilitator, so I think you'll truly enjoy this event. To learn more about him you can check out his linked bio and his Insta​ ​@iamhaniffazal .

We need your help to advertise and recruit participants. Can you recruit 10 people from your departments/teams, and/or buildings, and/or our community to this important event?

We are aiming to fill the Broadway Rose auditorium. We will be pre-ordering books for all staff who attend, so if you are a staff member who attends, you will get Hanif's book when it comes out in fall 2023.

Register for the book talk (open to all, hosted by TTSD Colleagues of Color)

Feel free to pass the below message registration link, Hanif's bio, and Book Talk flyer along to any colleagues (classified, licensed, administrators), high school students, and community members who you think would be interested:
