Dear Buff Family-
We hope that you are heading into your second week of Remote Learning with some clearer understanding and expectations while school is closed. With the school closure being extended, we hope that you are finding a good routine and a healthy balance. We want you to know that we are here to help and support you in any way that we can.
Counselors will continue to send a newsletter each week. Our goal is to focus on one topic each week. This week our focus is on self-care. Links to websites will remain in each edition to give you quick access to those resources.
We know you may have questions and we will do the best we can to answer them for you. In this uncertain time, we may not be able to provide answers as we await further guidance from our district leaders.
Please stay healthy and safe. We look forward to seeing our Buffs!

What is self-care?
Apps that can Help with Self Care
Calm
Named Apple’s 2017 App of the Year, Calm helps users with mindfulness and meditation. The app aims to bring more clarity, joy and peace to your daily life. The app includes guided meditations, Sleep Stories, breathing programs and relaxing music. Calm also has a “Calm Kids” section in the app where younger kids can learn calming techniques.
Pacifica
Pacifica helps teens break the cycle of ongoing negative thoughts. It does this by using tools that target stress, anxiety, and depression. The app consists of psychologist-designed tools based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness meditation, relaxation and mood/health tracking. Pacifica also has a paid option that allows users to work with a mental health professional through the app.
Calm Harm
Calm Harm provides tasks to help users resist or manage the urge to self-harm. The app contains five categories to help you fight the urge to self-harm. Each category includes five to 15 minute activities. These activities turn users’ attention to healthier ways to handle emotions and impulses.
My3 – Support Network
My3 is a crisis support app for people who have suicidal thoughts. The app features a contact list to call in case of emergencies. The list includes three of the user’s trusted contacts, 911 and the National Suicide Hotline. My3 also includes a safety plan which lists coping strategies and distractions. It’s one of the best apps that help teens with mental health struggles that include suicidal ideation.
MoodPath: Depression & Anxiety
MoodPath helps teens to detect symptoms of depression. Three times a day, users receive a question about their emotional well-being. After two weeks, users will receive a professional assessment. They can then share that assessment with their healthcare professional.
