A Very big thank you to the SPORT 2 Teams
Despite an unprecedented school year, you persevered. Suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention strategies were shared within your communities and implemented into your multi-tiered system of supports through our Suicide Prevention Ongoing Resiliency Training project. This video premiered at the Los Angeles County Suicide Prevention Network’s (LASPN) 10th Annual Suicide Prevention Summit. This project would not have happened without the support of the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. Thank you! Enjoy the video.
Join Us For Our First Customized Coaching Series
SPORT2 trained team members will have the opportunity to participate and engage in live Q&A with our content experts. Coaching and support will be customized for the implementation of your unique Multi-Tiered System of Support for suicide prevention. Click below for details and dates.
Take an Awe walk!

Breathe in your Surroundings...
As we continue to navigate Distance Learning, try out new resources, and handle about a million other things, it's important to pause and take in the space around you. Breathe it in and hold it, admire it, and breathe out that positive intention. We have spent time in our spaces and have perhaps found beauty and wonder in the everyday. As educators, we spend a lot of time on the DOING part and it's mostly for others. So think about YOU! Try an Awe walk. “Experiencing awe can jolt us out of this self-focused mindset, stirring feelings of wonder and inspiration by reminding us that we’re a part of something larger than ourselves.”
Found Sounds Activity
Contributed by ~ Karla Sequeira, TOSA Whittier City School District
I was challenged to look around the house for a "found sound." I had to find an everyday object that was not an actual instrument but that makes a loud sound that I could use either as a rhythmic or percussive instrument. It was harder than I thought but hysterical as I was clanging and tapping objects. There was movement, conversation, laughter, and joy. It was part scavenger hunt, part personal narrative as I picked up items I had not touched or thought of in some time. (BTW, I ended up choosing an ancient, giant flour sifter!) Take a minute to challenge your students to find a "found sound!"

SEL as a Foundation
According to CASEL, social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
