What Are Behavioral Health Services?
When considering the health of an individual, the importance of behavioral health cannot be overlooked. Behavioral health refers to the way in which a person’s behaviors and habits impact their overall health, both physical and mental. Behavioral health is often confused with mental health, and though they are related, they are not the same. Mental health does not have as wide a scope as behavioral health, which considers conditions that are not necessarily limited to mental illness.

The Treehouse in Mt. Kisco and Bronxville Helps Children and Parents Cope with Tragedy
Photo by JON_CF In the course of being kids, the expressions are the same—even in the face of tragedy. “They often look like they are doing Ok because they have to be kids first,” said Patricia Duff of the Bereavement Center of Westchester. So it follows that the true effects of losing a parent or sibling shouldn’t be looked for on the face of a grieving child.

Mental Health Awareness Week:
Mental Health Awareness Week is just around the corner, starting on 9th May and finishing on 15th May. And the Mental Health Foundation has announced that the theme for 2022 will be loneliness, in support of those who experience this and how we as individuals can support others. The decision for the theme was based on the consequences of the pandemic, as feelings of isolation due to lockdown rules left many people distressed. The Community Life Survey, which was conducted between April 2020 to March 2021, found that approximately three million people in the UK feel lonely often or all of the time.

I have no one, but I'm used to it.
I was never an average kid growing up. In fact, I was diagnosed with autism at four-years-old. So I struggled quite a bit with friendships. Being bullied due to my disability made me dread school so much that I ended up not going to college. Years later, I still don't know how to communicate or maintain social connections because I'm shy most of the time. Besides, most of the stuff I talk about would bore others anyone. So I don't want to come off as the awkward dweeb I was in elementary school. But it's also hard to keep connections with people nowadays because since everyone's too "busy" for me, I become distant fear of being a bother to them.

Looking for love in all the wrong places
From the time I was a little girl and watched my parents get married, I knew I wanted that kind of love in my life. I never really fit in with many of my friends growing up, and as a result I fell in love with books, especially those with a happy ending. Those who know me and those who follow me, know that for 5 years I was in an abusive marriage. Leaving was the scariest and hardest thing I have done, EVER. Yet, my hope for finding my happy ending has never wavered. The past few weeks especially, I am wondering if it is something attainable. My situation is unique and not exactly what men put on their list for dream girls. I have asked myself many times, 'Is he out there somewhere?' 'Is he lost?' 'Why can't he find me?'
