Sometimes life can be overwhelming and it can be hard to work through difficult times. This Virtual Calming Room was designed to assist in identifying different strategies for managing emotions. We hope these tools will provide helpful outlets and practices for when life gets tough.
At Northview, we have a partnership with the Associated Clinic of Psychology (ACP). ACP's School-Linked and School-Based services include prevention, skills development, therapeutic intervention, diagnostic evaluations, consultation, counseling, parent and family collaboration, and school collaboration.
Emotional ups & downs are to be expected during this time of COVID crisis, but if your child is experiencing any of the following, please consider reaching out for some extra support:
Increased problems in multiple areas of life: academic, social, family relationships, etc
Excessive worry
Crying, hopelessness, or feeling sad
Significant changes in sleeping or eating habits
Feeling bad about themselves
Withdrawal from activities or relationships they used to enjoy
Engaging in negative behaviors
Self harm behaviors or statements like “I wish I weren’t here”
ACP was awarded a grant by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) to provide school and community based therapy to students and their families throughout Dakota County. All services are conducted by qualified mental health professionals and practitioners.
Through the grant program, we are able to offer services to students in Dakota County regardless of insurance coverage. We will work directly with the insurance plan on your behalf to answer any questions.
