MENTAL HEALTH CHECK-IN AND RESOURCES:
What is “mental health”?
Mental health is
the overall wellness of our emotions, thinking, and behaviors. When we
are mentally well, we regularly practice our coping skills such as
exercise, hygiene, talking with a friend, reading, spending time
outside, drawing, and listening to music. This coping helps us manage
normal stressors in life, like school and interpersonal conflicts,
allowing us to function and contribute to our communities positively.
Why is this important?
As we head back to school, there are many things that are changing: our routines, how often we see our friends, how we spend our time, etc. This transition can cause a range of emotions, affecting our thinking patterns and behaviors. To help you cope with the transition back to school, and to help you take care of yourself, we have compiled a list of resources for you! Remember, you are never alone!!
The following list of links are resources for you to support your mental health now and through the summer:
- How to care for your mental wellness, i.e. “self-care”
- How to support yourself or others in a mental health crisis
- LGBTQIA+ resources
- Black, Indigenous, Person of Color (BIPOC) resources
- Sexual Assault/Abuse + Intimate Partner Violence Resources
- Other Mental Wellness Resources (Central Oregon, Grief/Loss, People with Disabilities).
SCHEDULE CHANGES:
THERE WILL BE NO SCHEDULE CHANGES FOR THE 2022-2023 ACADEMIC YEAR.
If students don’t forecast, we will be creating schedules for them and we are NOT changing schedules. Instead, LPHS Counseling will be offering students small group support in organization skills and stress management skills, both will include support in asking for help and working through change.
