Counselor Connection - Monthly Update!
In September during our SEL lessons we spoke with all students about the importance of reaching out to their trusted adults when they are in need of support. Students were also either introduced to or reminded of their counselor’s Schoology page Counselor Connection which all students have access to and houses helpful resources for anxiety and stress management as well as other useful student information.
This month Station recognizes two national awareness campaigns: Blue Shirt Day (bullying prevention) and Red Ribbon Week (substance use prevention). It is fitting then, that October’s monthly SEL lesson will focus on making healthy choices. In addition to our SEL lesson, students will participate in ColtTime activities to bring awareness to both bullying and substance use prevention.
We’d also like to take time to highlight B-StrongTogether.org an amazing organization we have in our own community that is committed to “Enhancing the health and well-being of Barrington area children and youth in mind, body, and spirit.” If you have not done so already, we highly encourage you to check out their website full of resources and upcoming events. They can also be followed on social media.
Finally, we are here for you too. If you have questions or concerns or are in search of additional resources, please reach out.
