Healing Magazine: Talking About Difficult Subjects in Mental Health
We are pleased to share the release of the latest issue of Healing Magazine, KidsPeace’s award-winning publication dedicated to supporting professionals, families, and communities in helping youth thrive.
This new issue focuses on a topic that remains critically important—how to effectively talk about mental health, even as awareness and understanding continue to grow. Many individuals still find it challenging to discuss these issues with children, adolescents, and one another.
In this edition, you’ll find practical insights and thoughtful perspectives on topics such as:
- How families and caregivers can use empathy and supportive language to better connect with children who are struggling
- The impact of focusing on behavior rather than character when communicating with individuals facing substance use challenges
- Strategies for understanding and adapting to the communication styles of youth with autism
- One public official’s personal journey in speaking openly about their mental health—and the impact of that decision
This issue also explores:
- The use of sandscape therapy in helping children process and express traumatic experiences
- The benefits of nature-based experiences in building resilience and confidence in youth
- Why making mistakes is an essential part of learning, according to an education expert
- A growing trend in community-based therapeutic dialogue that is expanding access to mental health support
We hope this issue provides you with valuable tools and perspectives to support the young people and families you serve.
Twice a year, Healing Magazine delivers thought-provoking information and perspectives that address issues of importance to children’s professionals, therapists, educators, parents, and others who have an interest in seeing kids grow, thrive and succeed in life.
