Help with eating disorders - The Butterfly Foundation
Help with feeling suicidal - Beyond Blue
Psychologist Collett Smart discusses vital signs of mental health struggles in teenagers during Mental Health Month. Drawing on insights from Graeme Cowan, she offers six key indicators, such as changes in behavior, social withdrawal, and substance abuse. Tips include listening actively, supporting through small tasks, and encouraging professional help. Tackle the daily ups and downs of teenage life with practical strategies and a compassionate approach.
Key Takeaways:
Recognising Changes in Behavior: Parents should look for sustained changes in their teen's behavior or mood over two weeks or more, which might signal underlying mental health issues.
Social Withdrawal: A noticeable decrease in a usually social teenager’s engagement with friends or activities could be a red flag of mental health struggles.
Changes in Appetite: Significant increases or decreases in eating habits might indicate emotional distress or potential eating disorders.
Negative Talk: Expressions of hopelessness or worthlessness should be taken seriously and approached with empathy and support.
Substance Abuse Signals and Tiredness: Increased use of alcohol or drugs and persistent fatigue or insomnia can be indicators of deeper mental health issues that need addressing.
Notable Quotes:
"Their brains are going through massive changes, and they're learning to do really hard things." – Collett Smart
"You know your teen better than anyone. What you will be looking for are changes to what you consider normal for your teen." – Collett Smart
"Mental ill health drains your energy. They might not feel like they want to put on a brave face for everyone when they go out." – Collett Smart
"It's important to walk with people sometimes side by side or sit in the car, particularly for some teens if listening face to face is confronting." – Collett Smart
"Rather than saying you need support, which may make some teens feel like they're weak or they're not good enough, I love to use Michelle Mitchell's phrase, you deserve support." – Collet

Listen to a Past Episode from Dr. Veya Seekis here - TikTok and Body Image
To learn about Dr. Veya's work, at Griffith University or her Paper on TikTok
This episode, Collett Smart teams up with Dr. Veya Seekis from Griffith University to discuss the transformative power of self-compassion in raising teens. Delve into actionable insights on acknowledging emotions, soothing techniques, and the difference between self-compassion and self-esteem. Listen as they explore practical steps for parents and teens to foster self-compassion, ensuring healthier emotional development and well-being.
Key Takeaways:
Definition of Self-Compassion: Self-compassion involves acknowledging one's pain, recognising it as a shared human experience, and offering oneself kindness, as one would to a friend.
Comparison with Self-Esteem: While self-esteem is contingent on success and external validation, self-compassion provides a stable, internal framework for managing stress and emotions.
Traffic Light System: This practical approach uses red for stopping and acknowledging feelings (mindfulness), amber for recognising shared humanity, and green for practicing self-kindness.
Benefits for Teens: Practicing self-compassion helps mitigate stress, prevents rumination, and may alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, making it a vital skill for teenagers.
Pilot Program Insights: Dr. Seekis’ school program shows that self-compassion techniques can be successfully integrated into the curriculum and can impact teens' ability to manage stress effectively.
Notable Quotes:
"In a nutshell, self-compassion is really just learning to be your own best friend."
"When we are being self-compassionate, we are acknowledging that we're in pain, understanding that this pain is not unique to us, and showing ourselves some kindness."
"Self-compassion is an emotion regulation strategy. It helps us in those moments when we're stressed, disappointed, or in pain."
"The traffic light system uses red to stop and acknowledge feelings, amber to recognise shared humanity, and green to practice self-kindness."
"Self-esteem can only be high during positive outcomes, whereas self-compassion offers a way to manage emotions irrespective of external success or failure."

Focus on Mutual Trust: These tools should foster trust and respect, not control; ensuring healthy emotional and developmental growth for teens.
Notable Quotes:
"Our children don't live in the same time as we grew up in, and so we have to parent differently for a different time."
"Boundaries are always about love and support and age-appropriate safety."
"Family use of the location apps doesn't imply mistrust, but rather reflects our commitment to their well-being and that we love them."
"It's very healthy for children to express these feelings and want some independence."
"This is just one small aspect of teaching children the importance of mutual respect and open communication, because those are the foundations of healthy relationships."

Dealing with Technology: Collaboration with parents on screen time rules is essential, alongside encouraging non-screen-related activities.

Key Takeaways:
Gratitude's Impact on Well-Being: Practicing gratitude can significantly improve happiness, optimism, and even physical health. Collett references research showing that people who focus on gratitude feel better about their lives and visit the doctor less frequently.
Empathy and Mirror Neurons: Empathy is crucial for fostering caring relationships and is neurologically wired into our brains through mirror neurons. Learning to understand and share others' feelings can significantly enhance social bonds and personal growth.
Mindfulness Through STOP: The STOP acronym (Stop, Take a breath, Observe, Proceed) is a practical tool for parents and teens to integrate mindfulness into their lives, helping reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.
Modeling Desired Behaviors: Parents and carers play a critical role in teaching these traits by modeling gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness themselves. Collett emphasizes the importance of adults demonstrating these behaviors consistently.
Practical Techniques: Collett provides specific, actionable strategies, such as writing thank-you notes, keeping a gratitude journal, and observing the physical manifestation of emotions through breathing exercises.
Notable Quotes:
"Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what we receive, whether it's tangible or intangible."
"True empathy involves being able to take the perspective of others."
"It's important for us to give empathy to people who think differently to us. That is true empathy."
"The most effective method for teaching empathy is actually to show them empathy."
"Practicing gratitude every day, just for a two-week period, actually pulls the brain out of negative thinking."
