Counselor's Corner
February/March 2021
Social Media & Resilience
Wow! We are more than half way done with this school year! This week starts the 5th Six Weeks. I wanted to share two resources with all of you in this newsletter. Yes, these are a bit lengthy. However, they are filled with valuable information for your student and family. I encourage you to set aside time to read them to invest in your family. First, click on the heading below to read about how social media is affecting teenagers. There is also a video within the article of how to keep kids safe online. Next, click the graphic to access a Parent's Guide to Resilience. The WhyTry organization is offering this free to parents during the pandemic. It is a great tool! We are always here to support as needed! Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can help!
