💚 Mental Health Matters: 💚
We are back with our monthly segment in "Parents Supporting Students of all ages"
We want to thank our partnership with Crawford Co Prevention Coalition.
February, the focus is on stress and how stress looks different at every age—but every student needs tools to handle it in healthy ways. Attached is a guide for parents to cover talking points when it comes to Mental Health and Coping Skills. It's important to know the warning signs and have coping strategies.
Coping Skills that help young adults: Just highlighting our graphic..
1. Mindfulness and Relaxation
(breathing exercises, meditation, grounding techniques)
2. Physical Activity
(walking or dancing releases endorphins and can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression)
3. Talk it out
(Sharing thoughts and feelings with adults you trust, therapist)
4. Journaling
5. Routine and Structure
(Regular sleep, meals, and activity schedules)
6. Goal Setting (Start small)
7. Healthy Boundaries (learning to say No, prioritize your own needs protects energy and reduces burnout)
Bottom Line: Everyone’s experience is unique; Mental Health Challenges are common and treatable. Healthy coping skills can make a real difference. Support Matters

Today we want to give a HUGE shoutout to Mrs. Smith and Ms. Hickman! 💛
This incredible duo is always working together to make our school better for students. They were the driving force behind our annual “No One Eats Alone” today at the Middle School , it takes a lot of planning, organizing, and heart to make it happen. We also want to thank the rest of the staff who had a hand in helping. You are ALL appreciated!!
Because of their leadership, our students were reminded that kindness matters, everyone belongs, and no one has to feel alone.
We are so grateful for the teamwork at GMS, dedication, and love they all pour into our school every single day. We love celebrating them! 💛🐅
This is a tremendous accomplishment, and we are so proud of your hard work and dedication.
