March Spotlight: Renewal
Although it may not feel like it just yet, Spring is right around the corner. You’re almost there. Maybe you can start to feel that internal shift, the lightness that often comes as the days are noticeably becoming longer, sunshine is offering more vitamin D, and milder weather allows us to get around with more ease.

ANXIETY
As front-line workers in our schools, education staff often have greater stress and feelings of anxiety than experienced in many other occupations.
Supporting Your Staff: Mental Health in the Workplace
During times of significant uncertainty, it can be helpful for employees to know that you have a plan to address their concerns and support them during difficult times.
DEPRESSION
It cannot be stated enough that your mental health matters. Feeling depressed is not a sign of weakness. The feeling can be treated.
Social Connection and Loneliness
Social connection is important for sustaining our sense of feeling cared for, supported, and listened to. Positive interactions from our supportive relationships improve our mood.
TAKING CARE OF ME
We are not designed to be in stress mode all the time. When our stress systems get overworked, we are at increased risk for physical health and mental health problems.
BEREAVEMENT, GRIEF AND LOSS
Grief is a natural process that our minds and bodies undergo when we experience a significant loss in our life. There is a range of things you can do to support yourself during this challenging time.
