Belly Breathing Mindfulness Technique
This deep breathing technique is the core of many mindfulness and relaxation practices. While this technique is simple, it is very effective. Belly breathing provides children (and adults) a moment to reflect on the "here and now," both emotionally and physically.
How can I speak with the School Counselor?
During the remainder of the 20-21 academic school year, you may reach your school counselor in several ways. Speaking with your school counselor is available for both in-person students, as well as virtual students. Ms. Raines is able to talk via google meet, in the counselors office, or email. Ms. Raines has a Student Referral Form, that you may complete if you are in need of speaking with her. Additionally, you may email at Tiffany.Raines@henry.k12.ga.us
