ADAA NEWS

We tend to think of July as a warm, mellow summer month with celebrations of independence, beach vacations, summer camps, and poolside outings. While we at ADAA want everyone to enjoy this summer month, we also want to highlight other important aspects of July related to mental health, wellness, pride, and equality:
  • July is BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Mental Health Awareness Month
  • July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
  • July is Disability Pride Month

Is it Danger or Discomfort? Tips
for Handling Panic

Blog by Dave Carbonell, PhD

"Panic isn't what you think it is. It's not an attack at all, and that's a misleading name for it. We're stuck with the name, but recognize that it's not something attacking you. It's you having an internal reaction of fear."

Blog with Melissa Brotman, PhD

"If we intervene early enough and catch behaviors, thoughts, and emotions before they are really entrenched for years, we can have an impact…While the steps may seem small for many years, the overall trajectory for children who receive early treatment is encouraging."



Mindfulness for Sickness and Pain
Blog by Lizabeth Roemer, PhD

"With practice and intention, we can use our awareness to help us to identify pain or illness that requires action, cultivate compassion toward ourselves and the difficulty of our experiences in our bodies, recognize that we are more than these sensations and experiences, and live full lives even amid sickness and pain."
