School Counselor ➡️ Mental Health Therapist

[Jane Evans @janeparenting2]

Children's whole systems are wired to seek out and plug into adults with safe calm, balanced and balancing autonomic nervous systems

It's the foundation that supports and nurtures their mental, emotional and physical health and sense of safety and self-worth

Is that adult you?

[Said Bouziane 💜 @SaidWithCourage]

If someone's in crisis they rarely need advice from you.

Just listen to them.

@Ms_Lyons_ MISS YOU my friend!

[Rebecca Smith, LCMHCA @K5Counselor]

Since I was on Twitter last, I switched from being a school counselor to being a mental health therapist in PP. Still working with students, parents, and even educators, but in a totally different capacity. LOVE both fields. LOVE what I do.

@sarahdupont00 You guys are so special! Lucky kids!

. @Kingswoodbuzz primary students were busy this week using colors to explore different feelings. After reading The Color Monster (one of my favorites!), students created their own color monsters and made bracelets to help identify emotions.

So proud of @Kingswoodbuzz first graders for their hard work making “coping collages” this week! They searched through magazines and cut out images of things they can do to feel better when they’re having a hard time. Look at all of their wonderful ideas!

[Rebecca Smith, LCMHCA @K5Counselor]

@MrElliotBrody Right!? Hope you’re doing well!

[Rebecca Smith, LCMHCA @K5Counselor]

Check out these sensory paths @Kingswoodbuzz! Can’t wait to watch students use these to self regulate and refocus!

[Rebecca Smith, LCMHCA @K5Counselor]

@MrElliotBrody @Kingswoodbuzz Thanks! The outer space and the one with start/finish lines were from the Target dollar spot! I think the other two are from Amazon.

We shouldn’t punish kids for being kids. If they sit in desks too long, don’t be surprised if they get fidgety or talkative. Yes, there’s a time & place for quiet learning. But we need more time & places for kids to play, move, socialize & be kids. That's how they naturally learn

@mrnorton18 @ticeteach @LearnPromethean @Kingswoodbuzz @mrshulsesclass @MiragliuoloArt @Kingswood_Media @CoachBrinsonPE @msrichardfirst @robinzky14 I’m gonna be sneaking into all the teachers rooms just to use their boards!
