Dear KPBSD Families,\nStudents, and Staff,<\/p>\n\n\n

Take a deep breath.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

It is very important to keep\ndoing this. Breathing in and out. So many things have changed in the Spring of\n2020, and transitions are hard.<\/p>\n\n\n

KPBSD offers you these tools\nto help you navigate the transitions you are facing. Sources of Strength is a\npublic health program that 14 of our KPBSD schools currently offer for their\nstudents. Sources of Strength focuses on promoting mental health and building\nprotective factors that increase connection, coping, resiliency and wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n

We all have\nstrength! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Our Sources of Strength programs help teams of\nstudents and school staff identify what strengths they have in their lives to\nhelp them move through the ups and downs of life. The Sources of Strength Wheel\nis composed of eight categories that we can draw strength from: Family Support,\nPositive Friends, Mentors, Healthy Activities, Generosity, Spirituality,\nPhysical Health and Mental Health. These strengths are powerful strengths that\nhelp us build resilience and health relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n

We all have\nmental health.<\/strong>
\nHow we cope, calm and connect when we experience feelings and emotions are what\ncreates our mental health. We can use our strengths to support our mental\nhealth. It is possible for us to not just survive, but thrive in our new\nreality. These resources provide you check-ins, activities for exploring\nemotions, conversation starters, and practices for you and for the student in\nyour household to calm, to cope and to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n

These activities and resources are from elementary\nschools, middle schools, and high school programs. Feel free to modify them\nhowever works best for you. Start your day with a check-in. Take the emotional\ntemperature in your home and find out how everyone is doing. End your day with\nthankfulness, naming things that you are grateful for. Share these resources\nwith your friends and neighbors, and together let\u2019s practice #WhatHelpsUs.\nShare posts on social media and hashtag #WhatHelpsUs and #KPBSDstrong<\/p>\n\n\n

Gratefully,<\/p>\n\n\n
