School Counselor Tip
Meditation has been shown to help people stress less, focus more and sleep better. There are thousands of studies documenting the benefits of many different types of meditation. Morning meditations can help cultivate peace of mind. True peace of mind is always there, but we first have to let go of everything that obscures such calm and clarity — our confusion, our ruminating, our expectations, our inner chatter. When you achieve calmness and peace of mind with morning meditation, your perspective changes and you may start to feel more positively about yourself and your day ahead. Headspace is an app that teaches you to meditate. Try it out!

Crisis Resources available to you 24/7
A crisis can happen at any time. And it isn’t always a life-threatening situation. Maybe you’re stressed about school, work, family or your housing situation? There’s a new way to reach out. New York State has partnered with Crisis Text Line, an anonymous texting service available 24/7. Starting a conversation is easy. Text GOT5 to 741741.
Use the Safe School Helpline: The number is 1-800-4-1-VOICE (1-800-418-6423) ext. 359. This is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Reports may also be made by texting the word "TIPS" to 66746 or online at safeschoolhelpline.com. The company also has introduced the Safe School HelpLine app, available for both Apple and Android devices. This app quickly gives users all three options for reporting valuable information.
There is also Lifeline, a 24 hour crisis line, in Rochester. You can call 211 or 275-5151.
