Ellie Mental Health - Exton, PA

Did you know that only 36% of Hispanic/Latino adults with mental health conditions receive treatment? Ellie wants to change that. This National Hispanic Heritage Month (begins on Sunday!), let's break down barriers and talk openly about mental health. You aren't alone, and together, we can create a supportive community where everyone feels heard and cared for. 💪💚

Studies show....

🫂 When someone is struggling with thoughts of su***de, often they actually feel a sense of relief if someone asks and shows genuine concern and care. It seems that talking openly about su***de might actually help reduce those thoughts instead of making them worse.

👂 People tend to feel less depressed, less overwhelmed, and more hopeful after talking to someone who listens without judging them.

❣ Helping someone who’s at risk build a network of supportive people and resources can encourage them to take positive steps and feel less hopeless.

Are you feeling suicidal, or are you concerned about someone else in your life? The 988 Lifeline is there to support anyone in crisis. Call or text 988 to get connected.

Whether it's taking up a new fitness routine, dedicating time to meditation, seeing a therapist, or simply ensuring you get enough sleep, there are so many ways to invest in your well-being!

On the mental health front, mindfulness practices like meditation or deep-breathing exercises can significantly reduce stress. Journaling and therapy can also be a therapeutic way to process thoughts and emotions.

As always, engaging in hobbies that bring you joy, whether it's painting, reading, or gardening, can provide a much-needed mental break from daily stresses.

Remember, is a personal journey and looks different for everyone. The key is to find activities that you enjoy and that fit into your lifestyle, making it easier to stick with them in the long term.

Small, consistent steps can lead to significant improvements over time, so start where you are and celebrate each milestone along the way.

We're cheering you on!

We've all been there—feeling like we're just too much for others to handle. But here's the truth: You're not a burden.

Those who care about you want to support you, just like how you want to support them.

Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in gloomy thoughts, but remember that thoughts aren't facts and you are a one-of-a-kind sparkling gem. 💎

When you notice those feelings creep in, remind yourself that it's okay to lean on your friends, family, or a therapist. Talk it out and share your worries, because sometimes a simple conversation can lighten that emotional load.

Summer's winding down, and let's be real—change can be tough on kids. 🎒 As the school year approaches, there are lots of ways we can help them navigate the transition.

From setting routines to talking about their feelings, a little support goes a long way. You've got this, and so do they! 💪

What are some ways you're starting to prep for the school year? ⬇ Let us know in the comments below!

A lot of people think that "time heals all wounds" and we will just snap out of it eventually, but moving forward after a loss isn't so easy.

Moving forward means honoring that you have lost something or someone significant, and actually weaving it into your life's story, not just hitting the delete button. We get it-- easier said than done.

When we don't talk about mental health, we let shame and misconceptions grow. Speak up, share your story, and let's change the conversation together. 💬

Wondering what your first therapy session will be like? 🤔 It’s totally normal to feel nervous as you’re approaching and anticipating that first session.

It's 2024, and it's time to break the silence. Seeking mental health care isn't a sign of weakness; it's a bold act of strength. Every person, in every community deserves to feel safe and supported in their mental health journey.

Let's smash the stigma and lift each other up.

A real therapist is busting the biggest myths about therapy today. Spoiler: It's probably different than what you're envisioning. 💭

Listen, everybody has their days (ahem...or months ...or years).

Just like physical health, mental health exists on a spectrum, and it's TOTALLY normal to experience ups and downs from time to time. Sometime we need to take it a bit easier on ourselves-- and that doesn't mean that we aren't strong or that there's something wrong with us.

➡ If you feel like you're struggling more than usual, practice giving yourself a bit more grace, think about what coping skills fit you best, and hey, having a kicka$$ therapist and support crew can also make a huge difference.

Pride month may be ending, but the acceptance, love, and advocacy doesn't! Tag someone who needs to hear this message! ⬇️

"But what if I don't know who I really am?!" 💭

Sometimes we are so used to masking, blending in, or serving others' needs that it feels intimidating to even think of figuring out who we really are deep inside. Believe us though, avoiding or pretending can be even more exhausting.

Let a therapist empower you on the path of discovery and self acceptance (they're really good at it). 🌈💖

Curious how a therapist is tackling some of these big questions with their kid clients? 📚🏳‍🌈
Here are a few books that our therapists recommend for talking about self-acceptance, all kinds of families, and gender identity PLUS some discussion questions in the last slide to open the convo up!
