Tackle Toledo Building collaborative relationships with schools and community resources to address mental health T.A.C.K.L.E. The T.A.C.K.L.E.

is a specialized program that focuses on providing school-based and outpatient services. Program is built on developing trust and relationships with our youth, families, communities, and schools. We provide real time intervention, where youth are seen on a daily basis, instead of by appointment, or after behavior or a crisis has happened. We are not your typical Behavioral Health Agency, and have developed new and exciting alternatives to behavior health that motivates youth to get engaged in treatment.

Emotions don’t just live in our minds — they often show up physically, influencing how we think, feel, and act.

• Stress can cause headaches, stomachaches, or muscle tension
• Anxiety may feel like a racing heart or shallow breathing
• Sadness can show up as low energy or heaviness
• Calm emotions often bring relaxed muscles and steady breathing

This mind–body connection is especially important for children and teens, who may express emotions through their bodies before they have the words to explain them. Recognizing these signals helps build emotional awareness and healthier coping skills.

Coping skills aren’t one-size-fits-all — and that’s okay. What helps one person regulate might not work for someone else. Exploring different options helps children and teens learn what works best for them.

Encourage students to choose what feels supportive in the moment using a “This or That” series!

Use this post to spark conversations at home, in classrooms, or during therapy sessions. Let children and teens know there’s no “right” choice — just tools they can use to help their bodies and minds feel more regulated.

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s awareness, choice, and self-connection.

When teachers support regulation, they’re not just managing behavior in the moment — they’re teaching lifelong skills that students carry far beyond the classroom.

Through consistent modeling, structure, and empathy, students learn how to recognize their emotions, calm their bodies, and respond in healthy ways. Regulation builds trust, strengthens teacher-student relationships, and fosters a sense of emotional safety.

When students feel understood and supported, classrooms become spaces where they feel safe enough to take risks, stay engaged, and truly learn and grow.

Mental health isn’t something we fix all at once.
It’s something we build — slowly, intentionally, and one piece at a time.

Each small step matters:
• Learning one coping skill
• Asking for help
• Taking a break when you need it
• Naming your feelings
• Showing yourself kindness

Those pieces come together to create resilience, balance, and growth. You don’t have to have it all figured out — just keep adding one piece at a time.

Today at Bucyrus Secondary School, RFS had the opportunity to offer a sound bath experience for our clients!

Sound baths use calming tones and vibrations to help the body and mind slow down, release tension, and feel more grounded. This type of experience can support mental health by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and helping regulate the nervous system. Many students find sound baths helpful for easing anxiety, improving focus, and creating a sense of calm and safety.

We love bringing creative, mindful experiences like this into schools to support emotional well-being and give students tools they can carry with them beyond the session.

Stress is normal, but prolonged stress can affect mental health. With awareness, guidance, and compassion, children and teens can learn to manage stress in healthy, productive ways — building resilience that lasts a lifetime.

Whether it’s joy, sadness, frustration, or relief — crying is your body’s natural way of saying, “I’m human, and I need to process this.” It’s a signal that your emotions are being felt, acknowledged, and released. Crying allows your mind and body to reset, helps you gain clarity, and even opens the door for healing and self-compassion.

Give yourself permission to cry. There’s no timeline, no judgment, and no shame in letting your emotions flow. It’s a safe, healthy way to care for yourself, process what you’re feeling, and move forward with a lighter heart and a clearer mind.

RFS is deeply committed to partnering with schools to ensure that every student has access to timely, compassionate, and effective mental health support.

We understand that emotional and behavioral challenges can impact learning, relationships, and overall well-being, so our team works closely with educators, staff, and families to provide guidance, resources, and personalized care. From the moment a referral is submitted to ongoing treatment and follow-up, RFS is there every step of the way, helping students feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

When we give teens the safety to explore without having it all figured out, something powerful happens. We remove the crushing weight of expectation and replace it with curiosity. This shift doesn't stall their growth; it actually fuels it.

By allowing them space to be uncertain, we help them build deep internal confidence. They learn to trust their own process rather than just performing for others. They develop resilience because they aren't afraid of making a "wrong" choice—they are simply learning what works for them.

Most importantly, this builds trust between you and your child. They realize your support isn't tied to a 10-year plan, but to who they are right now.
Growth isn’t about having everything planned perfectly. It’s about learning who they are becoming.

We don’t need to avoid every trigger or feel calm and happy all the time. Real growth is about knowing ourselves—recognizing what sets us off, making space for every feeling, and learning to respond with kindness, even on tough days.

Instead of aiming for perfection, let’s focus on understanding our triggers, building a strong and flexible mind, and meeting emotions with compassion. This is how we become more resilient, step by step.

Remember, the goal isn’t never to struggle—it’s to keep showing up for yourself, with patience and care. You’re doing great, even on the hard days.

Filling your cup isn't selfish. It's essential maintenance for your mental and emotional health. It means intentionally carving out time for the things that light you up. Maybe it’s reading a book in a quiet corner, taking a walk in nature, cooking a favorite meal, or simply laughing with a friend.

When you prioritize joy, you aren’t just making yourself feel better in the moment. You are building the emotional reserves you need to show up fully for the people and responsibilities that matter most.
