September's Wellness Focus - Coping and Resiliency

Each month we are going to recognize a different Mental Health issue that could possibly affect our students or people we care about.  The focus for September was the importance of developing coping and resiliency skills. We know that living with a learning disability can be stressful at times.  Not everyone fully understands what learning disabilities are or what it must be like to face LD-related obstacles every day.  It's important to help our students to recognize possible triggers for stress and to teach them a variety of strategies to help overcome these hurdles by building their coping skills toolbox. At our Terrific Kid/Wellness assemble for the month of September we will recognize students who have overcome something something difficult in their first month here at Sagonaska. Please feel free to comment below if you want to recognize any individuals or if you have strategies that you have used that have helped you to cope with something difficult in the past.
