Counselors' Update
ISA, February, 2021
Dear Families,
Another wonderful thing we can all do is to take just a few minutes to check in on a friend. Try to avoid a text or email and instead make it a phone or video call or even an outdoor, socially distanced in-person visit. Those few minutes out of our day spent thinking about and caring for someone else could make a huge impact on another person. Plus, when we intentionally think about someone other than ourselves and do something to help or care for another, we actually improve our own psychological well-being! Talk about a win win! Check out this article if you would like to read more about how we help ourselves by helping others.
As always, thank you for taking the time to read our newsletter, and please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or requests for assistance.
Best Regards,
ISA Counseling Department
