Mindset Monday

Educators spend so much time caring for others (students, colleagues, families, caregivers) that it’s easy to forget to take time for self-care.

This week, remember Brené Brown’s reminder:

“Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.”

Give yourself grace, speak kindly to yourself, and recognize that your well-being matters just as much as those you support.

As educators and mental health professionals, we have an opportunity to help students build healthier relationships with technology, foster balance, and create safe spaces for open conversation.

At Effective School Solutions, we’re listening closely to what students are telling us and working alongside schools to ensure mental health remains at the center of the conversation.

California youth cited the high cost of living, including housing affordability and the price of groceries, along with gun violence, climate change and racism as top concerns.
