You can catch Wellness on Tuesday at 10am in the ACA Chat Live! And now here’s a contribution from one of our amazing mental health support interns:
“Hello, my name is V and I’m one of the new Wellness Support Interns at Acalanes! We’ve made it to the end of Suicide Awareness Week, but this does not mean this is the end of suicidal thoughts or behaviors for students. As we continue to move through the fires and the pandemic, not to mention the upcoming election, it’s more important than ever to keep your eyes peeled for any shifts in mood, attitude, or behavior in your children. We recommend saving the Suicide Prevention Lifeline–you can never predict exactly what might happen, so it’s better to just be prepared. Please do reach out to the Wellness Center if you need further resources or support. Take care!”
