Reilly Counseling Update
Connecting During Social Distancing
I'm here for you!
When something unexpected happens it challenges us to take care of ourselves, connect in new ways and think outside of the box.
I want to make sure all of you are taking care of yourselves during this time and decided to compile a few resources and things you may find helpful.

Build Your Daily Schedule Around the Healthy Mind Patter Elements
Building family routines and schedules including all seven activities can help us feel a sense of wellbeing even during a time of uncertainty. You can actually create a menu of activities with children using a paper plate, crayons, pictures, and magazine cut-outs.
Identify a menu of options that can satisfy each element and plan your day around them. Vary the activities every day to keep it fresh.
YOU Matter!!!
Remember that image we always see about putting the oxygen mask over your nose first before assisting someone else? Essentially, this metaphor encourages us to help others. It stresses the importance of being able to be there for others in their time of need. But who are you going to help if you can't breathe? No one.
Please remember, especially if you are taking care other others while at home, to take care of yourself during this time.
Self-Care!!!
There are SO many types of self-care! Read the article below to learn about each and gain some new ideas you can easily do in the comfort of your own home.
Try to pick at least one way to self-care a day!
