Mindfulness and Stress
If you can sit quietly after difficult news;
if in financial downturns you remain perfectly calm;
if you can see your neighbors travel to fantastic places
without a twinge of jealousy;
if you can happily eat whatever is put on your plate;
if you can fall asleep after a day of running around
without a drink or a pill;
if you can always find contentment just where you are:

Why Focus on Mental Wellness?
Participating in activities that promote Emotional Wellness improves our ability
to self-regulate and become self aware.
Recognition of emotions empowers us to choose how to respond in positive
ways and improves learning, positive relationships and academic/work
outcomes while decreasing stress, aggression and inattention.
5/11/2021 23SELF CARE Starts WITH YOU
STEP 1 Do a Self Check-up
STEP 2 Engage in self care strategies based on your findings
Talk to trusted friends, family and/or school supports about
STEP 3 what you are learning

STEP 4 symptoms you experience that do not improve or worsen
Keep TEXT, Website and Hotline numbers in your phone for
STEP 5 24-hour support. You matter every hour of the day and so do
those you care for.
5/11/2021 24STEP 1 – Make the Time to do a self check-in.
Below are two well researched tools that provide
free screenings so that you can assess your current

Our mental health should be screened at least
annually just like our physical health as the two are
inseparable. Like cancer, Mental Illness and toxic
stress is much easier to treat when caught in the
earlier stages.
