*DISTRICT & COMMUNITY UPDATES*
Edition XXI - October 8, 2020
Dear Friend of Wellness:

It is absolutely mind-boggling that we are in October and we are still facing this unprecedented reality. Even with all the challenges - we continue celebrating life and this month we celebrate many individuals that continue going 'above and beyond' to make our educational arena the BEST in all forms...our hardworking Custodians and our relentless School Principals. Thank you both for touching the lives of students endlessly!

As we all search for our own ROIs = 'Return On Investments' in all steps and actions we take daily...I have also learned the importance to maintain in good status the ROIs = 'Resilience Offsets Illnesses' to navigate the daily journey successfully. Build up your resiliency daily with things you love to do. You are not alone and lean on each other to lift each other UP!

Continue being a beacon of LIGHT for all the children
and each other...
let's grow STRONGER together!

Be healthy and safe ~ Paula
NEVER GIVE UP...keep pressing on!

While most mental health clinicians and organizations focus on the mother-child dyad, a wealth of research now shows that fathers can strongly impact – and be impacted by – their partners’ and babies’ well-being throughout the perinatal period. In order to take a comprehensive, whole-family approach, it is essential to be familiar with the research, theory, and best clinical practices regarding how men make the transition to fatherhood. Dr. Singley will provide an overview of how men’s socialization relates to common perinatal mental health issues with an emphasis on how clinicians can be more father-inclusive and sensitive to common men’s issues as they navigate the transition to fatherhood.
