                Sometimes you might hear the terms mental wellness or mental health and think they mean the same thing. While they are connected, they actually mean two different things. What the difference?  Mental Wellness is your overall mental wellbeing, and everyone has it! Mental wellness is when people can recognize their abilities, cope with typical stress, work and function well.  In order to be mentally well, we have to take care of our minds just like we do the rest of our body.

                    • Improve Family Dialogs with StarkMHAR Conversation Cards

                      Once your family is seated around the dinner table, the typical conversation starter is: “So, how was your day?”

                      And the typical answer? “Fine.”

                      Getting your child to say anything more can be a lot of work.

                      But what if you stopped thinking of the child’s attitude as the problem, and started with the question? What if there were some truly interesting questions you could ask your family? And what if they were excited to think about them and answer?

                      • Childhood mental health support

                        • Foster Children: Aging Out Resources

                          Children who are part of the foster care system in Stark County will eventually reach the age of 18 and age out of the program. Just like anyone else, these young adults may have medical and mental health care needs. But unlike other young people, once they age out of foster care, they no longer have the same financial and emotional backing at home.

                          Unfortunately, these young people rarely receive the emotional and behavioral health services they need because of a lack of insurance and family support.

                          • Early Childhood (Ages 0 - 3)
                          • Childhood (Ages 4 - 10)
                          • Youth & Teens (Ages 11 - 17)
                        • Mental health signs to look for
                          Sometimes without warning, a child’s behavior takes a noticeable change for the worse. If they become unusually sad or suddenly disruptive, it may be difficult to determine if it’s just a phase or a symptom of something more serious. Understanding the warning signs of a significant emotional issue can help you decide when to seek professional help.
