Wellness Wednesday: Be The Reason Someone Smiles Today #BeWellRedDevils


Happy Wednesday Red Devils!

As an effort to increase our social/emotional supports on campus, the counselors will be sending Wellness Wednesday messages with our SUHi Community.

Our Wellness Wednesdays messages will consist of SELF-CARE tips and a KINDNESS CHALLENGE:
·        Self-care is crucial for our physical, emotional and mental well-being. In order for us to be the best we can be for our students, we have to take care of ourselves.
·        Kindness is very important in creating a sense of community and belonging. One act of small kindness can release an enormous chain of positive events. We hope our weekly challenge will encourage our entire SUHi Family to “choose kindness”.


Today’s Wellness Wednesday Message:


SELF CARE:
Use your calendar to schedule “me time” to do something you enjoy.

KINDNESS CHALLENGE:
Start a cycle of encouragement. Tell someone near you what you appreciate about them. They may return the favor when you need it most.

Please share the Wellness Wednesday lunchtime circles for students to “empty the cup” and discuss how to apply the self-care tip of the week. These will begin at 12:15PM each Wednesday in the Counseling Center conference room. Please encourage any students who might benefit to attend.

To spread the good news of our wellness efforts, please use the hashtag #BeWellRedDevils in sharing your Wellness Wednesday activities.

Be Well Red Devils!

Wellness Wednesday #BeWellRedDevils

Welcome back Red Devils! We hope you had a wonderful summer break.

Your school counselors are here for you! Our work includes supporting your academics, but also preparing you for college/career, as well as providing social/emotional supports.

As an effort to increase our social/emotional supports here at SUHi, the counselors will be sending Wellness Wednesday messages to help you be the best you can be!


Our Wellness Wednesdays messages will consist of SELF-CARE tips and a KINDNESS CHALLENGE.

Self-care is crucial for our physical, emotional and mental well-being. In order for us to excel academically, we have to take care of ourselves.

Kindness is very important in creating a sense of community and belonging. One act of small kindness can release an enormous chain of positive events. We hope our weekly challenge will encourage our entire SUHi Family to “choose kindness”.

We also invite you to our Wellness Wednesday lunchtime circles in the counseling center conference room to help you destress and refocus on being the BEST you. These will begin at 12:15PM each Wednesday. We hope to see you there!
