Virtual Calming Room

We are operating in uncharted territory right now that nobody could have possibly imagined or prepared for. Your MLSD Staff want you to know that your feelings are valid, no matter what they are. You might feel scared, confused, overwhelmed, angry, alone, grateful, or completely calm. You might feel many things at once, like being upset that an event was cancelled, but happy that you can wear pajamas all day. Your feelings are normal; the situation is not. Don't forget to breathe.
