πŸ“Œ Su***de Prevention Matters: QPR Training for Our Cheerleaders

This week, our high school cheerleaders participated in QPR Su***de Prevention Training, a vital step in supporting one another and strengthening our community.

We were moved to take action after the heartbreaking loss of a local student-athlete whose life touched so many. While nothing can erase the pain of this loss, we can honor their memory by giving our students the knowledge and tools to recognize when someone may be struggling and how to get them the help they need.

QPR, which stands for Question, Persuade, Refer teaches young people how to:

πŸ“Œ Recognize warning signs of emotional distress
πŸ“Œ Start a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation
πŸ“Œ Connect a peer with trusted adults and professional help

Our cheerleaders show spirit, leadership, and heart every day. Now, they’re also learning how to look out for their teammates and classmates in deeper, life-affirming ways.

If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out.
Help is available 24/7:

πŸ“ž 988 – Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
πŸ’¬ Text or chat at 988lifeline.org

Together, we can create a school community where no one feels alone.

November 11 is Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a federal holiday dedicated to honoring all military veterans for their service to this country. It is observed each year on November 11 and recognizes the courage, sacrifice, and commitment of those who have served in the armed forces. The day is marked by ceremonies, parades, and moments of reflection to show gratitude for the contributions of veterans in protecting the nation’s freedoms. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors those who died in service, Veterans Day pays tribute to all who served, whether in times of war or peace.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please know that reaching out is a sign of strength. Help is here, and healing is possible.

🍯 Shanah Tovah! 🍎

As we welcome Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, it's a time for reflection, renewal, and hope. This season reminds us that growth often comes through introspection and that it's okay to seek support along the way.

Mental health matters every day, especially during times of transition and reflection. If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply need someone to talk to, you're not alone. Support is here for you.

Wishing you a sweet, healthy, and peaceful new year.

πŸ“š One of the most rewarding parts of being a clinical counselor at the college level is connecting with first-year seminar students as they begin their academic journey.

This semester, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with other departments, helping students develop not just mental health skills, but life habits rooted in wellness, balance, and self-awareness.

It’s incredible to witness their growth as they learn to navigate new challenges, build support systems, and discover their strengths.

To all my first-years: You’ve got this and you’re never alone on this path.

World Sexual Health Day is an annual event that promotes awareness and education about s*xual health. Its primary goal is to encourage open conversations, reduce stigma, and provide accurate information about various aspects of s*xual health.

This includes s*xual rights, safe practices, contraception, s*xually transmitted infections (STIs), reproductive health, and emotional well-being. In 2025, the focus will be on s*xual justice. The core message for this focus area is that s*xual justice is essential for the achievement of s*xual health, rights, and pleasure for all people without discrimination, fear, shame, and stigma. At its core is consent. Every person has the right to decide if, when and with whom to have s*x.

β€œWhen women and girls can make the most fundamental choices about their bodies, they not only gain in terms of autonomy, but also through advances in health and education, income and safety,” UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem has said. β€œThese add up to a world of greater justice and human well-being, which benefits us all.”

πŸ•―οΈ International Overdose Awareness Day, August 31 πŸ•―οΈ Today, I honor the lives lost to overdose and stand with those who continue to struggle with substance use and mental health.

Behind every overdose is a story of pain, trauma, and often, untreated mental health challenges. That’s why access to mental health counseling is not optional β€” it’s essential.

We must break the stigma, support harm reduction, and push for compassionate, comprehensive care that includes mental health support for all.

πŸ’œ I remember.
πŸ’œ I support.
πŸ’œ I advocate for healing.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please know that reaching out is a sign of strength. Help is here, and healing is possible.
