Talking about mental health in childhood and adolescence is an important form of prevention. Psychology plays a fundamental role in the s¥icid*! prevention campaign and the search for spaces for support and professional listening should happen all year round, as well as protective actions!

🌻 Data from the Ministry of Health shows that s¥icid£ increased by 65% among people aged 10 to 14 and 45% in the 15 to 19 age group!

There are several conditions that have repercussions and can aggravate emotional conditions, triggering psychological disorders and compromised mental health💚

📌Several authors point out that aspects of the environment in which children live are the most directly linked to the presence or absence of problems related to children’s mental health.

🚩 Characteristics considered risk factors in the family context include: low income, high levels of family stress, low levels of emotional support, conflicting relationships, depression and psychiatric illnesses in caregivers (GOMIDE, 2013). The MS (2002) also adds as risk factors in the family environment: families where there is no differentiation of roles and limits, difficulties in dialogue between members, aggressiveness, absence or little expression of family affection and families that are in a situation of crisis or loss such as separation, unemployment or death.

🔅Every day, children and adolescents are subjected to adverse conditions that reflect on their development - unstructured family environments, overload of activities and school content, lack of leisure, lack of emotional support, excessive use of technologies, social demands and concern about the professional future, etc.

➡Risk factors for development are understood as all types of violence and family and social neglect to which our children and adolescents may be subjected. The accumulation of these risk factors is what increases the likelihood of developing behavioral and emotional disorders.

⚠️Depression, anxiety, self-harm, are some of the warning signs! Seek professional help. Many of these behaviors indicate the need for help.

🍁Grief belongs to those who feel it — it is unique, individual, and often beyond words.
Those who grieve usually find resonance only in the pain of another heart that has also been touched by loss.

🍂We cannot truly imagine the depth of someone’s suffering after losing a child, a parent, or a person of deep emotional bond — unless we have walked that same path ourselves.

🍂Each person grieves in their own way.
There is no right or wrong.
What matters is to validate this pain with compassion and care — and to recognize when grief begins to affect the body or mind, moments when professional support becomes essential.

🍁The first year is often the hardest.
And in our eagerness to help, we may forget that grief is not meant to be fixed — but lived, felt, and slowly integrated throughout life.

🍁I invite you to practice empathy and gentle presence.
To allow pain to become the first step toward new meaning — one breath at a time.

🍂Be there as a friend and companion.
Listen without judgment, observe with kindness, and give space for the bereaved to move at their own pace — rebuilding affection, connection, and hope.

🍁Helping someone through grief means walking beside them, one day at a time, holding their hand quietly, without asking for answers. 🤍

🍂The loss of a child is immeasurable, indescribable and unnamable. You can’t even get a denomination for these parents. Children who lose parents are orphans, spouses become widowed, but for the extent of this loss there is no name. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍂Bereaved parents belong to mutilating discontinuity, frustrated projections, to finite dreams, belong to the anguish of loss that is eternalized and generated in the long march of the days.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍂Referring to the words of Alexandre Coimbra Amaral: “The days of a bereaved mother and father interweave a new story that needs to happen like a bud. One day, another day, and another day. There are no guarantees, there is no linearity. Life becomes an unpredictable flow of homesickness and reconstruction. There are days when it is possible to put new bricks in the story that still appears as a sketch. In others, it is urgent to go back to nostalgia, to photos, to tears. Dancing between one moment and another is the possible path for parents who have lost their child”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍂This loss is like an always visible scar that, over time, may bleed less, but will always be sensitive and painful.
Grief is unique, singular and individual, everyone experiences it in their own way. Respect, welcoming gestures and sensitivity becomes necessary and belongs to parents who have lost their children.
Finding meaning for the loss is critical to surviving it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍂The social stigma of not talking about influences this grieving process. It is necessary to respect the time of withdrawal of bereaved parents and welcome their pain, but they also need closeness, authorization to suffer, loving listen and talk to exhaustion about their children. ⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
🍂“There is no greater agony than enduring an untold story inside you“ Maya Angelou

🍂Bereaved parents belong where possible. Sometimes in the lap of a hug, in a welcoming outburst, perhaps in tears or in silence, until it becomes possible for new chapters to be written! 🍂⠀⠀⠀

🌱Feliz dia daqueles que são, feliz dia daqueles que já fomos e feliz dia daqueles que nos ensinam a resgatar um pouquinho por dia daqueles que precisamos ser !!!

👶🏻Ah crianças .... ah a infância... ah esse lugar atemporal onde tudo se torna tudo!!!

👧🏾A Infância é uma espécie de tubo de ensaio feito com papelão imaginário para as fases de vida subsequentes.
Na infância tudo acontece e mais um pouco, experimentos, desenvolvimentos, treinamentos e vai por assim se formando esse tecer de recursos essenciais ao longo da vida.

Aqui nesse paraíso perdido aprende-se a resolver problemas, toma-se contato com as emoções e aprendem-se formas de as gerir, experimentam-se diferentes papéis e treina-se a empatia, fazem-se aprendizagens sobre como funciona o mundo de forma progressivamente mais complexa, papelões viram castelos e está aí um mundo dentro de um mundo onde as experiências da vida pequenina e estratégias de ajustamento vão moldando formas de ser, formas de estar, formas de sentir e isso tem por si só um valor único!

🧒🏻 A infância é esse lugar em que uma caixa velha, d***x e um monte de penduricalhos se transformam num carro turbinado de cabine dupla. E a adultez é essa época em que a gente tem a oportunidade de aprender com estes pequenos infantes a arte de transformar o pouco em muito, o normal em extraordinário, o tédio em criatividade. E, finalmente, fazer dos nossos corações a morada definitiva do encantamento. 🌱

“Tudo é mistério nesse reino que o homem começa a desconhecer desde que o começa a abandonar”

Mourning is for those who feel it, it is unique, individual and most of the time, indescribable words. Mourning is the dry leaves of everyday life, a defoliation. The dry leaves are our losses and throughout our existence there are dry leaves.

Each person experiences grief in their own way, right or wrong, words are not compatible with the description of the phases of this process, it has no linearity or duration, the feeling of grief belongs to those who feel it.

Often, in an attempt to give some comfort in this overwhelming moment, we rush to want to somehow stop this suffering, but grief is a process of the soul that needs to be lived and digested when and as possible over time and for that to cry. , suffering and talking are part of the process. We need to talk about and not hide or minimize.

Among the various mournings of a life, there are those that ferociously pierce the hourglass of time and cycles like the loss of a child.
The loss of a child is unbearable, indescribable and nameless. You can’t even get a name for these parents. Children who lose parents are orphans, spouses are widowed, but there is no name for the dimension of this loss.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mourning parents belong to mutilating discontinuity, frustrated projections, to finite dreams, belong to the anguish of loss that is eternalized and generated in the long march of days.
Addressing death, specifically, in the matter of mourning experienced by mothers and fathers in perinatal life - due to spontaneous abortion, fetal or neonatal death - is important and necessary since these parents are often neglected to live their pain and talk about .

The finitude of a life and of cycles leads us to put words to the anguish we feel since grief makes a rupture in the world assumed by us. In a pregnancy or with the arrival of a stillborn baby, this rupture pierces any hourglass of the human cycle and the stories already introjected by the new parents.
In mourning, perplexity accompanies us like an uncomfortable shadow at all times.

✨ The power of Support Networks in Motherhood ✨

🌿 Support is not only about people, but about everything that gives mothers a safe and nurturing place — groups, art, books, podcasts, hugs, mindful social media, or even a warm cappuccino on a rainy morning.

🌻 Supporting a mother means listening with care, offering respect, and surrounding her with positive words and healthy exchanges.

🌻 No mother should have to walk this path alone. As the African proverb says: “It takes a village to raise a child.”

🌿 Every mother needs a support network — because true strength is not doing it all alone, but being able to lean on love, care, and community. 💛

✈️ Expatriate motherhood can feel doubly challenging.

Many mothers who move — or become mothers abroad — face raising their children with little or no support network. Sometimes the only support is a partner, or a family member who visits once a year, stays for a while, and then leaves again.

Alongside the joys and struggles of welcoming a baby, comes the loneliness of living far from your roots. 💭 That’s when we miss our loved ones the most.

Being a mother far from home means being away from the maternal and cultural references of our own childhood. We long for familiar flavors, festive traditions, the smells and the cultural embrace of “home.” 🍲🎶🌸

Self-care becomes harder when the spotlight feels blurred by absence. Here, the challenge is not only caring — but also allowing yourself to receive care. 💕

In expatriate motherhood, helplessness and isolation are common. Family is far away, language feels unfamiliar, parenting methods differ… Even when support is offered, it can be hard to express pain or needs in another language.

That’s why reinventing yourself and building a sense of belonging in this new land matters. 🌍 It’s easier to receive help when we’re not always swimming against the tide.

There’s no single path, no recipe for what will work for you. But walking together makes the journey lighter.

🤍 Seek support, but release the pressure for perfection.
🤍 Persist, but welcome the calm that learning requires.
🤍 Trust your intuition, but remember: you too are a newcomer. Give yourself time.

✈️✨

🌱✨ Sábado vivemos um momento histórico: a 1ª Conferência da Mulher na Irlanda. 💪🏽
O evento foi um sucesso — casa cheia, muitos encontros, trocas e inspiração.

Foi uma honra imensa estar presente ao lado de mulheres tão potentes e generosas, incluindo a incrível , cuja liderança é fonte de força e esperança.

Como Grupo Gestarie, tivemos a oportunidade de levar à conferência um tema que pulsa em nós:
💛 “Raízes em Movimento: a Maternidade na Imigração”

🌿Falamos da maternidade sob diferentes olhares — da psicologia, da fisioterapia pélvica, da nutrição e da Doulagem parto/puerpério — mostrando que maternar em outro país é desafiante, mas também é potência, criatividade e reinvenção.🌿

Entre Brasil e Irlanda, 🇧🇷🇮🇪 entre ausências e presenças, seguimos costurando redes de apoio, bordando pertencimento e criando raízes fortes em novos solos. 🌍🧵🌿

Gratidão profunda a todas que estiveram presentes, ao .irlanda , e às mulheres que, juntas, transformam vulnerabilidade em força coletiva. .ibclc .leandro Sônia …. E muitas !!

💡 Cuidar da mãe é cuidar da criança, da família e do futuro…

Entre ausências e presenças, vamos alinhavando coragem: cada ponto é raiz, cada raiz é futuro. Somos costureiras de mundos, alinhavamos saudade e esperança, criando raízes que sustentam o presente e o futuro de nossos filhos.

🌍 Ser mãe longe de casa é como parir de novo — só que desta vez, parimos a nós mesmas.
Renascemos em um lugar novo, com uma língua que não é a nossa, entre ruas que ainda não guardam nossas memórias.

Às vezes sentimos falta do cheiro da comida da avó, da presença física da mãe, da amiga que entenderia tudo com um olhar.
Falta o colo, o conselho, o cuidado não dito mas imaginado. E então, percebemos: há um buraco.
Um buraco de rede.
De vínculos, de afetos, de pertencimento.

🤍 E é nesse vazio que começa a dança delicada de reconstruir!!
A gente aprende a bordar novas conexões — com outras mães, com vizinhas, com gestos gentis.
Não substitui o que ficou, mas pode sustentar o que somos agora.

🌎A maternidade na imigração tem silêncios difíceis.
Mas também tem encontros potentes.
Porque quando duas mães se olham com verdade — mesmo sem história, mesmo sem raízes em comum —, pode nascer uma rede.
Feita de empatia, de escuta, de pequenas alegrias partilhadas no parque, no mercado, na sala de espera.

🌱 Se você é uma mãe expatriada, saiba:
Você não está sozinha.
Você está bordando um novo lar com as linhas invisíveis do amor, da resiliência e da coragem.

E nós estamos aqui com você.
Um fio de cada vez.
🧶💛
