Hello, Manning students and families! Welcome to the Manning Counseling Website. The goal of this website is to provide you and your children with some activities and strategies to use during this time of immense change and stress. We will be updating the website every week with a new theme and related activities and resources.

Over the past many weeks we have focused on a wide variety of topics, including managing worries and anxiety, using self-care strategies, practicing gratitude and kindness, self-awareness, asking ourselves the question, "What Can I Control?", using positive self-talk, building our stress management skills, problem-solving, being a flexible thinker, and using growth mindset.

For our final focus of the school year we are thinking about ways to Celebrate Our Successes. Over the last 3 months students and families have had to make lots of changes - getting used to learning online, taking a break from seeing teachers and classmates in-person, spending more time indoors, among other things. This week, we are going to take some time to think about all of the successes students have had this year - both before the school closure and during it.
