“It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.” — Mandy Hale
Teen Mental Health Tips in Tricky Times – here is a blog focused on useful tips and tricks for parents, teens, and staff members to focus on encouraging our learners to be present in the moment and to implement some tricks to help when they feel overwhelmed.
- Physical Health – eating a balanced diet and being physically active can help us sleep better and feel more prepared for the week
- Mental Health – focus on meditation and reflection to reduce and settle anxieties
- Routines and Balance
- Social Media – can be both helpful and unhelpful when thinking about connecting with our friends and family versus comparing ourselves to others
- Sleep – teens are in need of sleep especially with the increase of stressors in our day-to-day lives
We like this quote because it shows that our characteristics don’t define our future, and our mental health status doesn’t define who we can be: “Sometimes good people make bad choices, it doesn’t mean they’re bad people, it means they’re human”. – Sui Ishida.
