At-Home Covid Tests Via USPS
As you may have heard, the government is providing at-home covid tests via USPS. Please click the link below to order your at-home tests, free of charge.
Link to order: https://special.usps.com/testkits
The link will take you to the USPS site where you will enter your contact information and shipping address.
COVID-19 tests will start shipping in late January. USPS will only send one set of 4 free at-home COVID-19 tests to valid residential addresses.
Mental Health Moment
Progressive muscle relaxation can be a great tool to help relieve stress and worry. Find a comfy place to sit or lay down. As you move through the stages of PMR, remember to continue to breathe deeply. The idea of PMR is to tense each muscle in the body and then relax it. Start with your feet. Tighten all the muscles in your feet, curling your toes in. Hold for five seconds and release. Once you have relaxed your feet, tense all the muscles in your legs, hold for five seconds and relax. Continue through all of the muscles in your body, pay close attention to the feeling of your muscles as you relax them. Hold on to the feeling of relaxation and take it with you even after you complete the PMR activity.
If your student needs more support with their mental health please reach out to your Advisor or any staff member for more resources.
