News From Guidance:
The Guidance Department would like to stay in touch with you during this time of elevated stress and disruption. We understand that the school closures due to COVID-19 are likely leaving you with a mix of emotions. Please know that you are not alone. Often, stress and anxiety can peak during times of uncertainty. This means that people can feel more on edge, nervous, helpless, angry, or sad when we have a sense that we are not in control. We’d like to offer these tools and guidance news to help you through this time of uncertainty.

Practice Self Care: Above all else, take care of yourself. Find what works for you!
- Engage in any activities that will take your mind off the current stress, take time to relax - read a book, try a new project, walk the dog, practice yoga.
- Mindfulness Resources: If mindfulness is helpful, here are some useful websites.
Use Your Supports:
Discuss your concerns or talk about something completely unrelated to COVID-19. Use technology to keep connected to those you miss.
