A common mental health myth is that "Children don't experience mental health issues". The fact is "Even very young children may show early warning signs of mental health concerns. These mental health conditions are often clinically diagnosable and can be a product of the interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors".

For teens, summer can be a time of fun and freedom, but it can also come with challenges, especially for those struggling with addiction. Whether it's peer pressure, boredom, or changes in routine, the summer months can be tough.

If you or someone you know needs support, remember that help is available. Reach out to trusted friends, family, or a support group. You're not alone, and there are people who care and want to help you through this journey. Stay strong and take care of yourself.

Summer isn't always sunshine and smiles for everyone. While the warm weather and longer days can be uplifting for many, it's important to recognize that for some, summer can bring its own set of challenges, including feelings of loneliness or isolation. If you're struggling with depression during the summer months, know that you're not alone. Reach out to friends, family, or a mental health professional for support. Remember to prioritize self-care, stay connected with loved ones, and seek help if you need it. Your mental health matters, no matter the season.
