"kids do well if they can" - Ross Greene

@teachnlearnMB @brookerossetto True. In filling gaps we assume too much responsibility for the conversation. Giving space allows one to work through thoughts and feelings without interruption. This can often lead to them finding their own way through their difficulties/struggles.

@BlomfieldA @teachnlearnMB @minb74 So true! Mental health impacts our mental ability, energy level and willingness to engage amongst a range of other factors. Learning is not possible if we don’t address mental health issues and provide a safe and nurturing environment for our students

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

What we are seeing today is a generation of kids whose stress cycles are spiraling. We're not after simplistic coping strategies, we're after an understanding of what needs to be done to break this cycle to get this homeostasis back again. #SelfReg #BreakTheStressCycle

My clients continue to give me a priceless gift. In order to serve you as best I can, I need to work on myself - to continue to elevate, grow & learn. You bring out the best in me, & there is always farther to go for you. Thank you for keeping my work on myself alive - for you.

When you have a difficult, disrespectful, and defiant student, my biggest tip for you… is to have lots of conversations with them when they are not in trouble. These conversations are where you build rapport… and that rapport makes future confrontations less likely.

We are pleased to announce the expansion of Lifeline Crisis Text to 24/7, with thanks to a $1.5 million grant from @ausgov , and the support of our incredible partners. The move means more Australians will be able to reach out for support, at any time of day.

Talking about your feelings isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s part of taking charge of your wellbeing and doing what you can to stay healthy.

Make your mental health a priority today.

Helping kids understand and recognise the cause of their discomfort can enable them to access the necessary coping skills and strategies to ‘ride the wave’ of big emotions

Resilience isn’t about immunity to pain. It’s about finding the strength to withstand strain.

You don't need to overcome all your hardships now. You just have to carry them until your future self can handle them.

The burdens that seem heavy today usually feel lighter tomorrow.

[Dr Tracy Westerman AM @TracyWesterman]

Talking about suicide or asking people about their suicidal thoughts or impulses won’t plant the idea in someone’s head or “trigger” suicide. If you don’t ask you cannot prevent.
I know it’s a well debunked myth but encountered it again today so it’s worth repeating.

@nickya73 @shortcomp @angelaryall02 We’ve certainly come a long way!
