Social Emotional Health

Our bodies and brains cannot handle STRESS well if we aren't taking care of our basic needs. 

• Shoot for 9 hours of restful sleep every night (here are some tips!)

• Drink plenty of water 

• Eat regular, healthy meals

• Identify at least 3 people you can go to if you are struggling with something

Talk to your school counselor or administrator for a referral to social work:

• Doug Daigle, Social Worker

• Caj MacDonald, Social Worker

• Sarah White, Social Worker

• Talk to your Primary Care Doctor -- they can often refer you to a mental health professional.

• Talk to family and friends to get recommendations!

• Use the Psychology Today, Spurwink, and Sweetser databases to search counselors in your area by specialty, insurance accepted, etc.

• The Center for Grieving Children supports young people who are experiencing loss or terminal illness in the family.
