Finding mental health solutions is increasingly important as the percentage of children and adults who experience mental health challenges has risen in the last five years.  When looking for mental health solutions it is essential to look at the whole body and find the right team of people to help discover what components are missing from your life. The brain is an organ, and when it is not taken care of, you will see signs and symptoms that often present themselves as some section of mental illness. 
 
The family unit is the first line of defense in mental health healing. Mental health happens within the context of a healthy family unit. Mental illness is not something that is experienced on the sidelines. Healing mental health is not about sending someone away for an hour and hoping that someone else can fix them. Mental health as a holistic approach includes a family unit pressing in tight and being part of why someone wakes up and heals, surrounding the individual with love and support. When the rest of the world begins moving away and setting boundaries, the family unit provides love and support, whether all in the same house or not. Kids need a team for mental health healing. 
 
Looking for early warning signs Moms are the cornerstone of each home. They sense what is happening with their children and husbands and constantly seek solutions for their families' needs. When we prioritize the role of Moms keeping a pulse on all that is going on in the home and empower moms with what early warning signs of mental illness look like, it can help decline the number of mental illnesses. 
Moms are already noticing when their children's sleep patterns change or if their appetite patterns shift; they are aware of friendships dissolving and see when their children lose interest in different activities. 
Mom's are Amazing! Teaching moms how to recognize these potential early warning signs of a more significant mental health illness allows families to not always chalk up these changes as typical teen and tween behavior. Yes, all kids struggle in the tween/teen years to some degree, but knowing what could be typical and what seems like a greater cause for concern is something a mom, with the proper knowledge of what to look for, can help discern.
Unique answers for mental health solutions in Children Helping our children find the right solutions for their mental health healing requires providing the right environment. There are so many different options and recommendations from various doctors and therapists. Look at the whole picture of your child's environment and tune into what they specifically need.

Entrepreneurship is overwhelming and exhausting at times, as is life. We are pulled in many directions: career, family, friends, caregiving, volunteer duties, etc. We need to pray most during these times, but we don't always know how to pray. Life is a responsibility and a lot of it. It's okay when we feel weak because it's too much, or we may be burnt out and don't even know what to pray for. Times like these are when you need the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit will pray for you.
In Romans 8:26, Paul says, "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words can not express. This assures us that we are not alone in solving our problems. When you feel so anxious, worried, fearful, doubtful, or exhausted that you don't know what to pray, ask the Holy Spirit to intercede for you. God will answer.
God is helping you pray, illuminating your fear of asking Him for help. When you pray or ask the Holy Spirit to intercede, ask according to God's will. We all want certain things, relief, or outcomes, but remember that as hard as it is to trust and believe His will, His plan for us is much better than ours.
God Works For Good Paul reminds us in Romans 8:28 that God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. All things. Not only some things, all things. The world is full of evil, and bad things will happen, but Christ overcame the world and can turn any circumstance into good. Remember that God is working for His purpose - to accomplish His purpose for us.
When you accept and love Christ as your Savior and have a renewed mindset through the work of the Holy Spirit, you will trust in God more. Seek security in Him, not in earthly treasures.
When negative emotions or thoughts swirl out of control, stop, breathe, and remember that you are sanctified through the Holy Spirit. That means He is willing and able to pray for you, and every day, He molds you to be more like Christ. As we become more like Christ, we recognize our true identity.

God is the answer to overcoming shame, learning to forgive yourself, and stopping living in a cycle of guilt. This is not a political conversation. It is a healing journey about overcoming shame through God's love. If the topic of abortion is an emotional trigger for you, please hit pause and find a better episode for you. We want to help you protect yourself. 
Finding Unveiled Freedom Many of us go through life covering ourselves with a veil to hide some piece of ourselves that may be shameful or too traumatic to share. Lifting this veil that has become a barrier to you and God is the first step to overcoming shame. You need to lift this veil and reveal your flaws, weaknesses, and insecurities, and you will see that when you show the true nature of who you are to the Lord, he still has a plan for you. God can still use you despite your shortcomings, flaws, and all that you have been through.
What is shame? Shame is a Silent, hurtful, and misleading emotion.
Shame is a combination of what we keep inside ourselves. When we hold in negative emotions and thoughts of being unworthy, we build shame into our very being. This shame can lead to sickness and manifest into physical symptoms in our bodies, to the point that our shame is destroying us from the inside out.
Finding the Genesis and overcoming shame by facing it head-on Shame often doesn't happen from a single event, even though the event can magnify the shame. It is important to find your Genesis. Where did the beginnings of shame start with you? Part of overcoming shame is to face it head-on at the root of where it began so that you can find forgiveness, close the door to that event, and move forward.

What can you do when you feel anxious about your life and business? Seek comfort in God's word. Open your heart and ears for the Holy Spirit to speak to you. We all experience anxiety from time to time, some more so than others. But the question is, what do you do when you feel anxiety? The simple, yet not so simple, answer is to cast your anxiety on Him. But what does that mean? How can you feel true relief from anxiety symptoms? If you are an entrepreneur who is experiencing signs of anxiety due to the stress of building a business, you will love the simplicity of using scripture to navigate it.
1 Peter 5:7 - Cast your anxiety on Him. If you've ever typed "What do you do when you feel anxiety into your Google search bar, you will appreciate this verse. The King James Version states, "Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. In the NIV Bible, 1 Peter 5, verse 7 reads, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
The word cast comes from the Greek word epiripto. This is a compound word. Epi means upon or on top of something. Ripto means to throw or hurl something with great force.
The word care is the Greek word merimna, which means anxiety. Merimna can also refer to hardships you are experiencing, complicated or unpleasant circumstances, turmoil, or trouble. These unpleasant experiences can be with your health, finances, relationships, or business.
Casting your anxiety on Him (or your cares) means that you can give all your worries, anxieties, or troubles to Jesus. Nothing is too great or too small for Him. He wants you to bring everything to Him because He cares for you.
The KJV word careth comes from the Greek word Melei. Melei means to be aware, concerned, thoughtful, and to give meticulous attention to something or someone. Therefore, 1 Peter 5:7 assures us that Christ pays special, meticulous attention to us. He knows about and sees everything we experience and feel and wants us to lay it all at His feet.
Satan will scheme and try to convince you that your problems don't matter to God. He will tell you not to bother praying. But he has no power or authority over you. He cannot interfere with Christ's incredible love and attention for you. Christ wants you to cast your burdens on Him. Trust Him, yield your concerns, and watch as he works in your life.

Mental health challenges affect everyone in different ways. But everyone is affected in one way or another. Either themselves, a family member, or a friend. No one is untouched by mental health challenges. Often, despite never having had anxiety, entrepreneurs and business owners experience the onset of anxiety symptoms and/or have exasperated symptoms if previously diagnosed. In addition, the loneliness of building a business alone can influence your mental health. Especially for women who are often caregivers, in addition to running businesses, we need strategies to navigate mental health and entrepreneurship. This is why knowing where your support and strength come from is so important.
There is no shame in mental health challenges. There is no shame in experiencing mental health challenges. One may feel shame because they feel different and may struggle in social settings, but mental health challenges should not be viewed differently than other physical diagnoses such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. Let's break the stigma.
Strength is available to you. One thing to be sure of, like with any physical illness, is that mental health challenges can cause you to feel exhausted and tired, maybe even burnt out, like you can't muster the energy to do anything or take one more step in the right direction. But whether you are struggling yourself or you are caring for or helping someone else who is experiencing mental health challenges, there is hope! More energy and feeling better are possible.
In Romans 8:11, Paul tells us, "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you."
What does this mean for us as believers? It means the Holy Spirit is in us to rejuvenate us and give us strength to fight mental health challenges of our own or to care for someone else - to be a support system.
You are refreshed, renewed, and redeemed. In other words, you are not alone, friend. Through the Holy Spirit, you gain strength; you are not weak. You are refreshed, renewed, and redeemed. His supernatural power is available because the Holy Spirit lives in you. You are powerful and can navigate life with mental health challenges with His help.
