This is deeply scary to me as I used to complete in Synchronized Swimming. Thank goodness quick action sprang to help!

A US swimmer is lucky to be alive after she fainted while competing at the World Championships and sank to the bottom of the pool in Budapest

+ Her coach leapt into the water and dragged her back to safety while lifeguards watched on

Just because elite athletes are at peak physical fitness, their mental fitness is not guaranteed. https://t.co/0MY84M1qmy

You cannot care for your students if you do not care for yourself first. Give yourself priority.

[Gordon Brill @GordonPBrill]

Set boundaries and learn when to say no. When you feel that your mental health is suffering, especially in the workplace, you need to stop to care for yourself. Your employer needs to know, understand and respect when you have too much on your plate.

@tbrancalion78 We are back in Saudi! It was beautiful to breathe Canadian air and fill our buckets! School started Sunday and we are virtual unfortunately, but excited for a new year!

Mental health and well-being always comes first.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

We watch in complete shock as Taliban takes control of Afghanistan. I am deeply worried about women, minorities and human rights advocates. Global, regional and local powers must call for an immediate ceasefire, provide urgent humanitarian aid and protect refugees and civilians.

Simone Biles is a role model for all to follow! Good for her for prioritizing her mental health first. #normalizeMentalHealth

[Glennon Doyle @GlennonDoyle]

God I love a woman who will abandon the world's expectations before she'll ever abandon herself. Simone Biles is a goddamn cheetah and I'm in her corner forever.

"I have to focus on my mental health and not jeopardize my health and well-being." We're proud of Simone Biles for prioritizing mental health and being a model for our youth. #mentalhealthfirst #simonebiles #selfcare https://t.co/83cOUCkLS1

@ONTSpecialNeeds What Happened to You by Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah

[Dr. Steven Weber @curriculumblog]

You can’t overstate the importance of the first 45 minutes of the first day of class.

Students ask:
1. Can I trust you?
2. Is this a safe space?
3. Does my voice/perspective matter?
4. Can I succeed in this class?
5. Do you care about me? #edchat

[Jessica Monkcom @jessicamonkcom]

Officially a @Mindful_Schools graduate! It’s been a wonderful and engaging past year of growth and learning. I cannot recommend this program enough. Every educator should have this opportunity. Truly changing the way students learn and how teachers teach!

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

So important to remember while heading into the new school year! 🙌
