Youth Power Hour (Calgary's largest youth mental health event of the year) in support of Lionheart Foundation is happening - 12pm on Wednesday, November 8th at the Telus Convention Centre.

Youth Power Hour is not just an event—it's a catalyst for change and an opportunity to provide support to you and your family. Through generous donations, we can offer financial assistance to cover treatment expenses for Calgarians struggling with anxiety-related disorders. With the help of Lionheart Foundation, we understand that social and economic barriers can hinder access to necessary support. That's why we assess the financial and therapeutic needs of applicants, ensuring that those who need it most receive the help they deserve.

But we can't do it alone. The more funds we raise, the greater the impact we can make in the lives of Calgarians. By donating, you contribute to a network of care, compassion, and hope. Together, we can reach out to more individuals, providing them with the support they need to overcome anxiety and regain their well-being.

🤳 Did you know? Teens spending 7+ hours a day on screens are twice as likely to develop depression or anxiety. Excessive screen time limits boredom (which is essential in the teen years), connection with their surroundings, and the ability to easily calm their thoughts. Let's prioritize offline time for reflection, genuine connections, and overall well-being. 🌿

Does your teen need help getting off a screen? Send Lionheart Foundation an inquiry to get matched with a therapist, and if cost is an issue, Lionheart can help with that, too.

Let your kids have the opportunity to be brave. Giving children the chance to step outside their comfort zones fosters growth, resilience, and self-confidence. It’s through facing their fears that they discover their true strength. 💪

Encourage them to take that leap, conquer those challenges and watch them soar to new heights. 🚀 When we nurture their courage, were helping them build a foundation for a lifetime of limitless possibilities.

Teenagers' melatonin surge at 2-3 am can make it harder for them to wake up early. This hormonal change, combined with puberty and screen time, affects their sleep patterns. Prioritize their mental health with these tips:

🌙 Unwind with a bath, meditation, or soothing activities before bed.
📵 Avoid screens and stimulating tasks for at least 1 hour before sleep.
☕ Say no to caffeine and energy drinks in the evening.
🌒 Create a calm, dark bedroom environment.
⏰ Establish a regular bedtime routine.
🏃 Engage in physical activities during the day for better sleep.
😴 Set up a cozy sleep environment (like doing no stressful school work in their bedroom).
⏰ Stick to a regular wake-up time.
🚫 Avoid staying up too late on weekends.

Remember, even an extra 30 minutes of sleep each night can make a significant difference in mental health. 💤💙

Does your teen need help improving their mental health? Send Lionheart Foundation an inquiry to get matched with a therapist, and if cost is an issue, Lionheart can help with that, too.

Managing extended hours with kids at home can be a joyful challenge. Be sure to prioritize self-care to recharge, seek support, and ensure you are maintaining balance so that you are equipped to help your children.

To help your family adjust to the change in schedule, start with establishing a daily routine to create a sense of structure. Foster independence by encouraging your kids to tackle tasks on their own while maintaining open communication to be sure your child feels heard and supported. Now is the time to encourage new hobbies and interests and let their imaginations develop.

Did you know that according to Mental Health Foundation 31% of teenagers report feeling ashamed of their bodies?

Everyone should feel confident and proud of who they are, regardless of their shape or size. If you're struggling with body image, remember that you're not alone, and there are simple things you can do to shift your mindset.

Instead of focusing on the things you don't like, turn your attention to one or two things that you do love about yourself. It could be your dazzling smile, your gorgeous hair, or even just one tiny freckle on your leg. Refocusing your thoughts and reminding yourself of what you like can help boost your mood and confidence. 🌟💖 Let's celebrate our bodies, no matter what shape or size they may be.

Help spread awareness on youth mental health by sharing this post. Together, we can break the stigma and make a lasting impact. 💪💙
