Compassion Resilience Toolkit Challenge #3
I would like to slowly introduce you to The Compassion Resilience Toolkit and offer a series of challenge questions for you to ponder. You can also do this as a staff activity.
Please read these Short informational pieces:
Expectations from Self and Others
Compassionate Boundary Setting to Build Compassion Resilience
Challenge Questions to Ponder:
1. What is an example of an expectation that someone had for you that was "aspirational" -just far enough in front of what you were currently doing to allow you to stretch and find new strengths within yourself?
2. What is an expectation you have for yourself for work or personally that you think might be unrealistic? What is the impact of that on you and your relationships?
3. After reflecting on the connection between boundaries and resentment, what is one boundary you plan to begin or continue to uphold to keep you out of a place of resentment?

Meet our 3 Newest QPR Instructors!
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.
People trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help.
The Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District has partnered with HSHS Sacred Heart to provide QPR to our freshman students since the 2014-2015 school year.

DCLT Agenda

The District and Community Leadership Team (DCLT) is a group of school district and community executive level administration, who have the authority to reallocate resources, change policy, sustain, and scale the key elements and core features of the ISF. The DCLT meets at least three times throughout the school year.
Mission/Vision of DCLT: Our community partnerships will promote staff awareness and increase understanding of mental health supports and resources so all students will develop life-long resiliency
Progress Monitoring Goal: Analyze the data we have and action plan around it.
We will establish baseline data measuring frequency of community clinician contacts with educators for consultation, collaboration, and professional development. (REALiving will track this data)
Group Norms: Start and end on time, Be open to possibilities, Follow-through on agreements, Actively participate, Be solutions oriented, Enjoy our time together
