La preocupación y la ansiedad son partes habituales de la vida, pero también pueden ser indicaciones de que su hijo necesita más apoyo. El reconocimiento de los trastornos de ansiedad en los jóvenes ha aumentado significativamente en los últimos 10 años. Aproximadamente el 30% de los niños y adolescentes experimentarán un trastorno de ansiedad en algún momento de sus jóvenes vidas. Conocer las señales y buscar ayuda profesional cuando sea necesario ayudará a interrumpir una progresión que puede conducir a la depresión, el bajo rendimiento escolar y el consumo de sustancias.

El suicidio es una preocupación seria y real entre los niños y adolescentes. El suicidio es la segunda causa principal de muerte entre los jóvenes de 10 a 24 años. Los intentos de suicidio a menudo están relacionados con otras condiciones de salud mental, pero no siempre. Particularmente entre los niños más pequeños, los intentos de suicidio pueden ser impulsivos. Las señales de advertencia de suicidio o declaraciones de suicidio siempre deben tomarse en serio y ser evaluadas por un profesional de la salud mental. Los sentimientos suicidas se pueden tratar con la intervención y el apoyo apropiados.

Mientras que la gente solía pensar que la depresión sólo ocurría en adultos, ahora sabemos que los niños y adolescentes también pueden experimentar depresión. De hecho, en promedio, aproximadamente el 3% de los niños de 3 a 17 años tienen un diagnóstico de depresión. Esa tasa aumenta en un 6-10% durante la adolescencia. Si bien muchos niños experimentan estados de ánimo decaídos, los síntomas de la depresión no deben ignorarse.

In this online seminar recording from a 3-part series produced by the Pacific Southwest MHTTC in July of 2021, Kaethe Weingarten, PhD of Migrant Clinicians Network and the Witness to Witness Program, presents materials about grief in general and grief in the circumstances of the pandemic. As the losses mount with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many are feeling a range of emotions. Confusion, fear, anger, and sadness are strong, as is grief. Grief usually takes shared public forms, but during the pandemic, there are constraints. Dr. Weingarten discusses the particular challenges of grief following estrangement or ambiguous loss. She asks the audience look at ways to support others – clients, friends, colleagues, family members – without becoming overburdened oneself, in order to avoid empathic pitfalls while offering support. Throughout the online seminar, Dr. Weingarten looks to opportunities for balancing despair with hope and creating hope in community, knowing that this is something best done with each other.

In part 1 of this series, the Pacific Southwest MHTTC presents the Migrant Clinicians Network and the Witness to Witness Program to address how to manage the multiple stressors impacting service providers and those they serve.   The premise of this online seminar is that the helpers need help to manage the distress that comes with the role of witness and helper. Sometimes the distress comes from the stories providers are told by the people they work with or interactions they directly observe. Sometimes the distress comes from the people who administer the policies and procedures that affect the people they serve. And often the distress derives from both sources. Providers may also have their own challenging histories. Current situations may trigger memories of difficult personal experiences, making it harder to cope with contemporary stress. View this video presentation for Dr. Kaethe Weingarten’s discussion on these topics. The second half of this online seminar looks at sources of resilience and what Dr. Weingarten calls reasonable hope.
