@AevidumDW What an inspiring afternoon. So proud to be a part of Aevidum and this community

[Bari Simmons, Ed.D @barisimmons]

So impressed with the bravery of Rachel Rondinelli for coming to speak at Downingtown West at our @aevidumdw event after school today. One step closer to ending the stigma about mental health.

@Westcooks Congrats! So exciting!

Downingtown West’s Aevidum club delivered a banner of supportive messages to Warwick High School today. Warwick has been through a tough fall, and the Aevidum Club wanted them to know the “we have their back.”

Every person in our building (students, faculty, staff members, admin) have their names and a number hanging in our building. The students spent time in the hallway searching for their names. Next week, if their number is called, they win a gift card. Such a fun day! @AevidumDW

[Bari Simmons, Ed.D @barisimmons]

@dasd_dhsw Thank you for thinking of us after a long week. Those mini bundt cakes were delicious!

"When you live with a health condition like a mental illness, learning how to “self-soothe” (a dialectical behavior therapy technique for coping with times of emotional stress) can be beneficial in recovery."

If you want students to take an interest in your class, start by taking an interest in them.

[Aevidum @aevidum]

"Because by opening up the dialogue about mental health and mental illness at a young age, children can feel more comfortable speaking up when they’re struggling, we can get them the help they need as soon as they need it and help them feel less alone."

@DWestLibrary @halseanderson I would love to take a look at this!

It’s important that teachers understand their content… but it’s also important that they understand their kids.
