I feel like we’re being told that work is the only thing that’s essential in a pandemic and I just want to say, connect with friends, hug your people/pets, take holidays, watch bad tv, read good books, listen to music, dance. Find peace. Help others. THESE are essentials.

If a student asks you for an accommodation (ex. an extension) because of their mental health, what do you do? I'll tell you what I do. 1. Validate 2. Accommodate 3. THANK them for prioritizing their mental health! Teach youth that something positive comes out of asking for help.

New k-12 restart plan allows for school counsellor colleagues get a (new)larger space to meet w/Ss or plexiglass barriers. Counselling Ss on bench outside, without privacy is UNACCEPTABLE. #Studentmentalhealthpriority @BCSTA_President @bcsca @bctf @keithbaldrey @Rob_Fleming – at Coldstream, British Columbia

1/5 I am a researcher at an @NWONieuws institute. However, as this tweet will show, views are my own. I’ve been hoping for a statement from my employer, acknowledging at the very least the inequality faced by minorities who manage to make it into our tower of ivory faces.

#SD42 teachers will be calling parents and students this week. If you receive a call from an “Unknown Caller,” it may be your child’s teacher. #MapleRidge #PittMeadows
This. And those students that make the counselling office their home, that I miss yelling “go to class” to, and the daily check in’s. All of this.
