Resources We Love
Self-Care
“There is no better Tier 1 intervention than an encouraged, enlightened and healthy teacher.” - Dr. Adam Saenz
We hope that you're taking time over the summer to pause and reflect on your self-care. If you're looking to implement some simple and no-cost self-care strategies, we recommend taking a look at the following resource from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network.
Promoting Family Meals
Do you know the importance of family meals? According to Purdue University, family meals are "positively associated with improved dietary quality, prevention of overweight, enhanced language acquisition and academic performance, improved social skills and family unity, and a reduction in risk-taking behaviors". They have created the Promoting Family Meals Project that also includes resources for families and programs.
