Frustration

Being frustrated with something or someone is a common experience. It is important that we learn to recognize and manage frustration, so it doesn't become the feeling that is driving all our decisions or actions. Maybe there is a change at your work that-you-have-a-hard-time accepting or something unexpected happens and your vacation plans get put on hold.

National Love People Day

Today is National Love People Day. I have a plaque on the wall that reads: Love each other or perish. My challenge to you this weekend is to have a conversation with someone who you categorize as different from you. Become a bridge-builder. You'll be amazed to find your suspiciousness start to shrink and your capacity for love and care start to grow.

National Coffee Day

How many of us have seen the stereotypical group of retired guys sitting at McDonald's in the morning drinking coffee together and solving the world's problems? This practice of regularly getting together with friends and sharing life is a powerful mental health tool.

An issue that many high schools face today is students vaping. In the past the go to consequence for vaping, tobacco, or nicotine use was out of school suspension. More recently, Crestview High School has been adopting more restorative justice approaches as a response to student misbehavior. Appleseed Community Mental Health Center has helped us provide these kind of options for our students. Part of the response to students vaping has included having our students work with Jeremy Smith. Jeremy has addressed the social and emotional issues that are so closely connected to the misbehavior. Not only has this helped get the students back on track, but we have also been able to keep students in school.
