Back to School: Building Resilience and Connection

Back to School: Building Resilience and Connection

Today's Tool: Resilience and Connection


Welcome Back to School!

As the school bells ring and students return to their classrooms, we enter a season of fresh starts, new challenges, and endless possibilities. Whether you're a student, a parent, or a teacher, the back-to-school season is a time of transition that brings with it both excitement and anxiety. It's a perfect moment to reflect on the importance of mental health and personal growth as we navigate these changes together.

In this edition of the newsletter, I want to share insights on how we can all build resilience, create supportive environments, and maintain a healthy balance during this busy time.

Mental Health and the School Year: Setting the Foundation

The start of a new school year often comes with a mix of emotions—anticipation, stress, and sometimes, overwhelm. It's crucial to acknowledge these feelings and address them head-on.

Practical Tips for Students:

  1. Routine Matters: Establish a daily routine that includes time for studying, socializing, and self-care. Consistency can reduce stress and improve focus.
  2. Set Realistic Goals: Break down academic and personal goals into manageable steps. Celebrate small victories along the way.
  3. Stay Connected: Loneliness can creep in, especially during transitions. Make an effort to reach out to friends and stay connected with loved ones.

Reflecting on my own journey, I remember the pressures of school and the toll it can take on mental health. It wasn't until later in life that I fully understood the importance of mental well-being. Now, as a social work student and advocate for mental health, I see how vital it is to equip ourselves and others with the tools to manage these challenges early on.

Great intentionality with social media use. Excited to build new relationships this semester, but sad I won’t have the opportunity to watch you draft your LinkedIn posts in real time! ??

Glad to see you posting today. I totally get deleting it from your phone. Good for you Ethan. That takes a level of maturity and discipline that many don't have. I left you a voice message a few days ago....just checking in on you. The old mom in me coming out I guess! ??
