Happy Wellness Wednesday Red Devils!
The school year is almost over. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and let your shoulders relax. You did it. You got through this unbelievable year and you showed tremendous resilience and grace.
There is no question this was a difficult school year for so many reasons, but instead of focusing on those things, let’s focus on all the amazing things that DID happen:

There is no question this was a difficult school year for so many reasons, but instead of focusing on those things, let’s focus on all the amazing things that DID happen:
- You rose up to the challenge.
- People all over the world leaned into a tough situation to support each other.
- We all learned some new things about ourselves that will help us as we move ahead.
- While circumstances were certainly difficult, strange and unique this year, know that through it all, you kept pushing forward. That’s something to celebrate. You should be very proud of yourself. We are DEFINITELY proud of you.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and your SUHi Counselors hosted a few mental health presentations last week. Click here to access the recordings:
Breathe. Practice 4-8-7 breathing. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 8 seconds, and exhale for 7 seconds.
Sit outside, in silence, with a friend practicing 4-8-7 breathing. Talk about how it makes you feel.
The state of your mental health affects how you think, feel, and ultimately how you act. It's crucial that we express these emotions with others on a daily basis. By talking about mental health openly, more people may be encouraged to seek help from a trusted adult, school counselors, or our community based partners.
We all need someone to talk to, someone who listens, and someone who understands. Your Sweetwater High School Counselors are here for you. We are just an email, video chat, or phone call away.
