Remember during this holiday season it is not always easy for everyone who is dealing with mental health. Be there for those that need to be surrounded by good people, be kind, and make sure they are ok. Check in with them. Spend time with them. Be their holiday cheer!

[Hope For The Day @HopeForTheDay]

It’s ok to reach out. Find support for yourself and others & remind those closest to you that IT’S OK NOT TO BE OK #breakthestigma #HAVEHOPE

[Mr.P's Mental Health Corner @JoePalkowski]

You and your mental health is a work in progress. No one is perfect. Each step forward no matter how big or small is progress. You will heal when you take care of yourself and put your health first.#itsoknottobeok #hopefortheday #mentalhealthmatters @HopeForTheDay

Today is World Kindness Day! Remember, you have the ability to change someone's day! It does not take much to do someone kind. Spread acts of kindness today and every day! @HopeForTheDay @tobymorse #WorldKindnessDay #bethechange

Kindness is contagious and the smallest gesture can change and make someone's day! You never know what someone is struggling with when it comes to mental health so be the change; give them hope. @EvelinNiemiec @HopeForTheDay #havehope #weareinthistogether

Happy Halloween! Remember some people wear costumes and each day as we truly don't know what's going on inside. Remember what you see on the outside doesn't always match the inside when it comes to mental health and well being! #weareinthistogether #itsoknottobeok #hopefortheday

[Mr.P's Mental Health Corner @JoePalkowski]

Don't judge anyone because you don't know what they are coming to their day with. Mental health is real and the best way to help is show compassion and kindness. @HopeForTheDay #itsoknottobeok #kindnessmatters #compassionoverhatred

[Mr.P's Mental Health Corner @JoePalkowski]

100%!!!! We need to ensure kindness and compassion are made visible in our schools. Kindness and compassion can help combat the struggles our students are dealing with for their mental health and well being. @EvelinNiemiec

I absolutely agree that many schools are not equipped to handle this @tvaillancourt13. We need to support these students because their mental health and well being is being greatly impacted. My classroom is a safe space and the safety of these students need to be made a priority.

[Tracy Vaillancourt, PhD FRSC @vaillancourt_dr]

Another important story on school violence. Well done @CBCNews and @cbcmarketplace. We need to know this to properly address it.

15% of girls say they were sexually assaulted by peers — but many schools ill-equipped to tackle the problem https://t.co/6zY3axLgp1

[Mr.P's Mental Health Corner @JoePalkowski]

This is absolutely amazing!! Good for NY for recognizing the importance of student mental health and well being and doing something about it!!👏👏👏 @HopeForTheDay @Jonnyboucher @EvelinNiemiec you'll appreciate this! #safeschools #itsoknottobeok

[XQ @XQAmerica]

It’s crucial to ensure students have the social and emotional support they need! What do you think about @NYSenate's move to introduce legislation that would allow students to take #MentalHealth days? #ReThinkHighSchool https://t.co/JXHlRyQ5XL

[Mr.P's Mental Health Corner @JoePalkowski]

@XQAmerica @NYSenate 💯This is absolutely amazing!!! If mental health is so important this should absolutely be implemented. I know as an educator in Ontario we are seeing this more and more with our students and we are losing a fighting battle trying to deal with it because supports are lacking.

[Mr.P's Mental Health Corner @JoePalkowski]

This is so very true. Remember that!! You are enough and you are worth it.

[TWLOHA @TWLOHA]

You are enough. You are.

[Mr.P's Mental Health Corner @JoePalkowski]

So pleased that students are making use of this in my classroom @HopeForTheDay! It is really important to know how your students are feeling and open up dialogue with them. My classroom is a safe space and they need to know someone cares. #itsoknottobeok #weareinthistogether

[Mr.P's Mental Health Corner @JoePalkowski]

Good to know how these stressors affect our students and their mental health!

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

Helpful #sketchnote by @kwiens62 of biological and emotional stressors. These are applicable to understanding kids and adults.

@JoePalkowski @Jonnyboucher 🤘🖤

[Mr.P's Mental Health Corner @JoePalkowski]

Mental health is definitely more important than grades! If students come to school happy and leave happy, that's what is important! Parents need to start recognizing this @EvelinNiemiec @Jonnyboucher @HopeForTheDay

[Mr.P's Mental Health Corner @JoePalkowski]

@mraspinall This so very important and more need to recognize this!!!🙏

[Mr.P's Mental Health Corner @JoePalkowski]
