May is Mental Health Month. This month aims at raising awareness of trauma and the impact it can have on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of children, families, and communities. Mental Health Month was established in 1949 to increase awareness of the importance of mental health and wellness in Americans' lives, and to celebrate recovery from mental illness. Mental health is essential for a person's overall health.

Happy Spring:) Spring is the perfect time to renew and re-energize for the rest of the school year! One skill you can incorporate into your day to be more present and reduce stressed or anxious feelings is to practice focused breathing. Try spending a few minutes a day putting this skill into practice!
Here's how...
Focus your attention on your breath, the inhale and exhale. You can do this while standing, but ideally you’ll be sitting or even lying in a comfortable position. Your eyes may be open or closed, or you can maintain a soft gaze, with your eyes partially closed but not focusing on anything in particular. Notice that after doing this for a few minutes you feel lighter and more at ease to take on what comes next.

Walk with them to class
Invite them to do homework with you and a group of friends
Ask them to play a video game or hang out during free time

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. According to recent data, one in five students report being bullied.
Here at Brady we have the opportunity to change this statistic by choosing kindness and actively creating a positive atmosphere for students and staff.
Everyday is a new opportunity to wake up and ask yourself, How am I going to be kind today? How am I going to include others? How can I show others I accept them for who they are?

Often when you hear the word self-care you may think it means pampering yourself or treating yourself to a special activity. However, self care is actually the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness.
Self-care can look different for everyone.
For some it may include ensuring basic needs are met, like getting enough sleep. For others it may mean setting time aside for journaling or getting outside to enjoy some fresh air.
