Role of Family in Mental Health welbeing.pptxrajalakshmi5921

Still Unanswered, Always Remembered: The Powerful Legacy of StillbirthAnn Douglas
This document summarizes research on the grief experienced by parents and families who experience stillbirth. It finds that:
- Grief from stillbirth can last a lifetime and affect mothers, fathers, grandparents, and siblings in different ways. Mothers are at risk of postpartum depression and PTSD.
- Fathers' grief peaks around 30 months later and involves protecting their partner and children. Children minimize their grief to avoid burdening parents.
- Families need time to grieve separately and together. Pregnancy after a loss involves guarded emotions and heightened anxiety around milestones.
- Moving towards finding purpose and meaning in the child's life helps families adjust to their "new normal." There is no time

This document discusses grief and the grieving process. It defines grief as a powerful emotional reaction to loss, such as death of a loved one. Mourning is the societal expression of post-bereavement behavior used to resolve grief. There are typical stages of grief including denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Children experience grief differently depending on their age and understanding of death. Grief is managed through open communication, emotional support, maintaining routines, and encouraging healthy outlets for painful feelings. Complicated or dysfunctional grief can occur if the loss was extremely close or sudden and unexpected.

HARMFUL TRADITIONAL PRACTICES IN UGANDA PRESENTATIONThomas Owondo
Traditional cultural practices: They reflect values & beliefs held by members of a community for periods often spanning generations. Some are beneficial, some have neither benefits nor harms, and some are harmful to a specific group e.g. Female Genital Mutilation & child marriage.
Female genital mutilation (FGM): Any procedure that involves the partial or total removal of external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
Child marriage: Formal marriage or informal union before the age of 18 years.
Harmful traditional practices among adolescents are an important problem:
Over 200 million girls & women are estimated to be living with the effects of FGM which is predominantly performed on girls under the age of 18 years.
Every year, about 12 million girls are married before the age of 18.
Harmful traditional practices among adolescents can have serious health & social consequences:
FGM has no known health benefits,. It can cause immediate health consequences - hemorrhage, shock, infections & death & can cause long-term health & social consequences such as post-traumatic stress disorder & menstrual health problems. Women with type III FGM have an increased likelihood of experiencing problems during child birth. Babies born to children with FGM are at increased risk of neonatal complications.
Child marriage often leads to early childbearing in young girls which is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy-related mortality & morbidity and of increased risk of mortality and morbidity in babies born to a adolescent mothers.

It is understood now that life style has a great impact on health and overall wellbeing of a person. Many of the health problems related to some serious illnesses such as cancer, heart disease etc are due to unhealthy behavior or lifestyle choices an individual makes (e.g smoking or overeating).
The perception of Health also has become changed as health is not just being away from diseases but it is overall positive well being. (Brannon & Feist, 2010).
These concepts led researchers to further focus on healthy behaviors and lifestyle of people, generally. Psychology as a science of behavior has much to contribute to the field of health psychology. It has become a fast growing area within clinical psychology.

Principles of Behaviour Therapy and Counselling.pptThomas Owondo
The document discusses principles of behaviour therapy and counselling. It explains that behaviour therapy involves applying research findings to help people achieve specific changes or goals related to behaviours, feelings, thoughts and coping. Behaviour therapy is based on the idea that behaviour is learned and can be unlearned through principles of learning without analyzing past causes. Counselling aims to enable choice, change or reduce confusion without giving advice, using skills like empathy, active listening and focusing. No single treatment is appropriate for all, and treatment plans must be continually assessed and modified to meet changing individual needs.
Psychotherapy is a process of engagement between two persons, both of whom are bound to change through the therapeutic venture.
It is a collaborative process that involves both the therapist and the client in co-constructing solutions to concerns
(theory and practice of counselling and psychotherapy- Gerald Corey)
As a counsellor, you need to remain open to your growth and to address your personal problems if your clients are to believe in you and the therapeutic process .
Your personal characteristics are of primary importance in becoming a counselor, but it is not sufficient to be merely a good person with good intentions. To be effective you must have supervised experience in counseling and sound knowledge of counseling theory and techniques
Culture is the lifeblood of a vibrant society, expressed in the many ways we tell our stories, celebrate, remember the past, entertain ourselves, and imagine the future. Our creative expression helps define who we are, and helps us see the world through the eyes of others.
culture provides important social and economic benefits. With improved learning and health, increased tolerance, and opportunities to come together with others, culture enhances our quality of life and increases overall well-being for both individuals and communities.
Participating in culture can benefit individuals in many different ways, some of which are deeply personal. They are a source of delight and wonder, and can provide emotionally and intellectually moving experiences, whether pleasurable or unsettling, that encourage celebration or contemplation. Culture is also a means of expressing creativity, forging an individual identity, and enhancing or preserving a community’s sense of place.
Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, encompassing language, religion, cuisine (style of cooking), social habits, music and arts.
Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things.
Humans are a social organism, we have evolved to be social. Working together for a collective action is hardwired into us. We want to help, share, and give to each other and receive in kind.
Many things that we want , and need, cannot be created simply by our own efforts, so require some form of collaboration or reciprocity. The benefits we derive from that sociability we could call social capital. Social capital arises from the human capacity to consider others to think and act generously and cooperatively.
The concept of social capital relates to important questions of human behaviour and motivation such as why people give or help others even when there is no foreseeable benefit for themselves.
The central preposition of social capital is that relationships matter and that social networks are a valuable asset.
Stress isn’t always bad.
In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.
If you frequently find yourself feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, it’s time to take action to bring your nervous system back into balance.
You can protect yourself and improve how you think and feel by learning how to recognize the signs and symptoms of chronic stress and taking steps to reduce its harmful effects.
Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat.
Eustress – Kind of stress that results from something good and we react positive.
Distress – Kind of stress that results from something bad and we react negative.
Stressors are things that cause stress. Almost everything is a stressor depending on the individual.
Have you ever wondered why individuals and societies are so varied?
Do you ask what social forces have shaped different existences?
The quest to understand society is urgent and important, for if we cannot understand the social world, we are more likely to be overwhelmed by it. We also need to understand social processes if we want to influence them.
Sociology can help us to understand ourselves better, since it examines how the social world influences the way we think, feel, and act.
It can also help with decision-making, both our own and that of larger organizations.
Sociologists can gather systematic information from which to make a decision, provide insights into what is going on in a situation, and present alternatives.
The family acts as a primary socialization of children whereby the child first learns the basic values and norms of the culture they will grow up in.
A child needs to be carefully nurtured, cherished and molded into responsible individuals with good values and strong ethics. Therefore, it is important to provide them the best childcare so that they grow up to be physically, mentally and emotionally strong individuals.
Family is a group of persons united by the ties of marriage, blood or adoption; constituting a single household, interacting and inter-communicating with each other in their respective social roles of husband and wife, mother and father, son and daughter, brother and sister creating a common culture.
Family is an intimate domestic group made up of people related to one another by bonds of blood, sexual mating, or legal ties.
A group of people related by either blood, marriage, or adoption.

What's your opinion on the school not providing good internet service?
Which political party does a better job of running the country?
Should morning prayers be compulsory at school?
Chances are that you probably have fairly strong opinions on these and similar questions. You've developed attitudes about such issues, and these attitudes influence your beliefs as well as your behavior.
In psychology, an attitude refers to a set of emotions, beliefs, and behaviors toward a particular object, person, thing, or event.
Psychologists define attitudes as a learned tendency to evaluate things in a certain way. This can include evaluations of people, issues, objects, or events.
Such evaluations are often positive or negative, but they can also be uncertain at times. For example, you might have mixed feelings about a particular person or issue.
When we are feeling something, we don't really stop to define that emotion or think about the exact emotion that we are experiencing.
We just feel and go through it; may it be sadness, anger or happiness.
As human beings, we experience a plethora of feelings and emotions in our lifetime that range over several forms and types.
The word 'emotion' encompasses a broad range of feelings, behavior and changes in the body and mind.
In psychology, emotion is often defined as a complex state of feeling that results in physical and psychological changes that influence thought and behavior.
Emotionality is associated with a range of psychological phenomena, including temperament, personality, mood, and motivation.
