Back-to-School: Self-Care During Covid-19
University of Michigan-based TRAILS have created many useful mental health & resiliency resources for students in Grades 3-12, including a psychoeducation section on trauma where I found their handy & helpful handout on Grounding Skills (pictured below) that many people will no doubt find useful in these uncertain times. In addition, they have an entire section of Covid-19 resources for educators, mental healthcare providers, parents, and students, just in time for back-to-school. Be sure to check out Self Care During Covid-19 for Everyone, which includes practice tips and material on:
Recognizing and validating grief
Staying in the Present
Separating out what you can and cannot control
Noticing and managing your worried thoughts
Paying attention to joy
Finding the right balance of structure and flexibility
Getting active
Investing in social connectedness
