Wellness Check-in
Trauma is a major public health concern. Sadly, many minority youth and families miss out on vital mental health services. It’s time for change! Let’s break down barriers, foster understanding, and ensure everyone gets the support they deserve today.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Wellness Check-in
Wellness Checks are available for everyone:
✔Kids (from 7 years old)
✔Teens
✔Adults
✔Families
Wellness Check is a 30-minute session with a trauma-informed mental health Professional. Note that it is not classified as a therapy session but a drop-in session that provides on-the-spot support for your current mental health needs
Wellness Check is conducted virtually wherein you will have a talk therapy with a trauma-informed mental health Professional and in return, receive a Wellness Assessment( not diagnostic) of your mental health. Each session costs around $30.
You have to sign up for a consultation. After that, you will receive a confirmation in your email with additional information regarding your appointment.
Here are the many benefits of involving ourselves in Wellness Check-in sessions:
1. Wellness Check-ins can reduce stress and anxiety as you get a chance to express how you’re feeling. According to research, recognizing your emotions helps promote calmer feelings in you.
2.Wellness Check-ins on emotions normalize discussing your feelings which is an essential component for feeling your best self. You can make talking about your feelings a normal part of your routine by doing a daily check-in.
3 .Self-awareness is built once you engage in daily wellness check-ins. Self-awareness is a foundational social-emotional skill that helps us understand how we’re feeling, why, and what we need to be at our best. By making a daily check-in a routine each day, these skills are fostered especially for kids and teenagers. Adults need wellness check-ins to deal with daily life demands.
4. Wellness Check-ins can serve as a proactive problem-solving tool. A daily check-in is actually a proactive tool that supports problem-solving skills. We offer family wellness check-ins ideally so you check in with your children about how they are feeling ahead of time and understand the challenges they are dealing with. This gives you and the child a chance to problem-solve through those challenges (rather than waiting for an emotional outburst later on).
