Emotional First Aid

Do you have a first aid kit? If so, what’s inside? Probably some bandages, antibacterial ointment, gauze pads, and alcohol wipes—items that will patch up your body and get you back to what you were doing. But what do you do to heal an emotional wound? Check out Behavioral Health Partners’ September blog post for some tools to add to your Emotional First Aid kit.

Therapy: 101

Each of us experiences stress, depression, and anxiety in different ways. For individuals starting therapy, a therapist needs to thoroughly review their history, needs, and goals before determining an optimal treatment model, a few of which are introduced in this blog post.

Knowing Your Healthy Number - The Depression Screening Tool

One in four Americans experiences a depressive episode in their lifetime. Depression does not have one single cause, and its severity and symptoms vary from person to person, which is why it can be hard to know if what you are experiencing could be an episode of depression.  For this reason, the Patient Health Questionnaire for Depression was created.  Learn more about the Patient Health Questionnaire in Behavioral Health Partners February blog post.  Behavioral Health Partners is brought to you by Well-U, offering eligible individuals mental health services for stress, anxiety and depression.

Grief and the Holidays

Grieving is difficult at any time, but it can be especially challenging during the holiday season. Holidays represent time spent with loved ones, so they tend to magnify our loss. Making sure you have a plan and a support system in place can help you better prepare for any emotions or experiences you may have during the holidays. Behavioral Health Partners is part of Well-U, offering eligible individuals mental health services for stress, anxiety, and depression.
