Mental Health Check
Living Through History is Intense
|
This article is not about necessary health precautions or containment, it's also not about curriculum or technology based learning.
This article is about YOU and your MENTAL HEALTH during the COVID-19 outbreak.
We, at the Coalition, love and applaud teachers in the early learning industry of Northwest Florida, but even on the best days you still need to check on your mental health. Now, in a time when stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and primal fear are evident in the lives of you, and the children you care for, it is crucial to
remember that you cannot effectively care for others if you are taking care of yourself first.
