Harvest Park has a new Wellness Center, The Nest, which serves our students in many ways. The Nest is open during both lunches for students to come in, relax, refocus, utilize sensory tools, work on assignments, read, or just chill. There are planned FLEX/Access sessions in the NEST that students can sign up for, which include Painting & Popcorn, Therapy Dog, Study Strategies, Note Taking Strategies, Coping Skills, Mindful Meditation, and more! Students can also ask teachers to visit The Nest for a 10 minute re-set if they're feeling emotions that are making it hard to focus and learn. We also utilize the space for individual student accommodations (as part of their 504 plan or IEP). The Nest serves as reminder to students that mental health awareness and wellness are important to living a happy successful life.
Move on from bad days. They happen to everyone. Take a minute to think about what went right, even on a bad day, and remember: Tomorrow you get to try again.
Rip up the stress. Draw or write about the thing that has you stressed, then tear the piece of paper into shreds. Imagine you're ripping up your stress when you're ripping the paper.
It is only a thought, and a thought can be changed. The thoughts I choose to think and believe right now are creating my future. These thoughts form my experiences tomorrow, next week, and next year.
