As we reach the end of Mental Health Awareness Month , I’d like to reflect a little bit. I often reflect on the state of mental health; I try to figure out how we, as a society, view mental health and wellness. In the year since the last Mental Health Awareness Month, have we improved things? What does it mean to spread awareness, and are we doing a good enough job?

UNISON is calling on social workers and other council staff in England and Wales to back strikes after opening its industrial action ballot on this year’s council pay offer. A yes vote could lead to walkouts by the union – which represents an estimated 40,000 social workers across the UK – this summer. Fellow union Unite will start balloting members on industrial action shortly, while the third local government union, GMB, is also planning to do so.

Why is it important to involve parents and caregivers in child psychology appointments ? Parents play a central role in child therapy and parent participation in therapy can be important for therapeutic outcomes.

Relationships are a complex dance between two people and t here is no roadmap for relationships. Difficulties in any relationship are normal. We can be aware of green flags and red flags but there is no clear road sign that says “Hazard” or “Stop”. We must learn how to navigate relationships and how to set them up for success.

--Colorado makes it incredibly difficult for impoverished parents to get their children back – and incredibly easy for foster parents with enough money to keep any child they damn well please. That’s the upshot of this investigation from 9News in Denver. Foster parents have carte blanche to intervene in a case – and play the bonding card – if they have a child in their “care” for just three months.
