How can we find a greater sense of purpose and meaning? Being part of something bigger than ourselves - and focusing on the things we value - is vital for our wellbeing. So let's take time to reflect on what we care about this month and prioritize the things that matter.

Active April 2021

Keeping active is a great way to boost our mental wellbeing. So this month we're encouraging everyone to get moving and get outdoors as much as possible. Whatever your circumstances or physical limitations, you can find your own ways to be a bit more active. We don't need to run marathons - there are simple things we can all do to take care of our bodies, like unplugging from technology, reconnecting with nature and getting more sleep! 
Take care of your body.  It's the only place you have to live.  Jim Rohn

NUAMES Nighthawks!

My name is Stephanie Grotzky and I am your School Social Worker.  This is my second year at NUAMES and I have been a licensed School Social Worker for the past 11 years.  I am also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.  I am proud to be a part of our great school and love serving each and everyone of you. I have included a description of some of the services I provide to students, parents, the school and in the community.  I am available to you all at stephaniegrotzky@weber.edu or sgrotzky@dsdmail.net.  You may also reach me via Google Voice text: (385) 240-0880.

What is a School Social Worker?

School Social Workers (SSW) are a vital part of the educational team, working together with educational administrators, teachers, counselors, psychologists, nurses, speech and language pathologists and other staff. Their unique graduate level training in social work enables them to understand and interpret the influences of the school, home, and community on children. School Social Workers identify factors that can make school a more successful experience for students.

What do School Social Workers Do?
 School social workers help STUDENTS:
  • Achieve maximum benefit from their educational opportunities
  • Understand themselves and others
  • Cope with stress
  • Develop decision making skills
 School social workers help PARENTS:
  • Participate effectively in their children’s education
  • Understand and meet their children’s social and emotional needs
  • Understand programs available to students with special needs
  • Utilize school and community resources effectively
 School social workers help SCHOOLS:
  • Understand factors (cultural, societal, economic, familial, health, etc.) that affect students
  • Abilities to make maximum use of their school experience
  • Utilize their resources in meeting the educational, social, and emotional needs of students
  • Promote a safe school environment
 School Social Workers help COMMUNITIES:
  • Understand school policies, programs, and practice
  • Minimize those environmental factors which inhibit learning
  • Develop resources to adequately meet the needs of students and families​ ​

Let's take the time to pause, breathe and really take in what's all around us. This month we're encouraging you to take some time to look within. Learning to be more mindful and aware can do wonders for our well-being in all areas of life - like the way we eat, the things we notice or our relationships. It helps us get in tune with our feelings and stops us dwelling on the past or worrying about the future - so we get more out of the day-to-day. It can also help us identify what we're grateful for, which has been proven to help boost your happiness levels!

We need each other more than ever right now! This month let's focus on reaching out to connect with others and doing our best to be a good friend. Our acts of kindness and connection ripple out and impact so many more people than we realize- and they also boost our own happy hormones too! In stressful times people around us may be feeling the strain, so let's try to keep calm, take time to listen and show compassion.

'Happier' January 2021

1/4/2021

How can we start this new year happier? Things have certainly not been easy over the last year, and we are still in difficult and uncertain times. The best way to try to handle our difficult emotions and experiences is by focusing on what we can control. This month, we're encouraging everyone to focus on small steps to try to boost happiness - for ourselves and others around us - to spread kindness and hopefully inspire others to do the same.

Mental Health Awareness and Resources

NUAMES Parents/Guardians-
 
Usually, during HOPE WEEK the Hope Squad hosts a parent/student education night where we are able to provide mental health information and resources - but with the COVID-19 large group gathering restrictions, we aren't able to hold this event.  However, we felt that it was important to still provide our NUAMES families with resources and mental health supports.

Davis Behavioral Health - Prevention Resources for Individuals and Families.  
 
During the summer Davis Behavioral Health hosted an "Illumination" Event with Hank Smith and the EveryDay Strong Program, which focused on building strong families through communication and connection.  Juniors/Seniors can receive seminar credit for viewing these video presentations.  Your family can watch these videos at the link:  https://www.dbhutah.org/prevention-resources/
 
We HOPE that these resources and information will be beneficial for your family.  We know this has been a difficult and challenging year and we are PROUD of our NAUMES students for doing HARD THINGS and responding with such resiliency!

'Do good' december 2020

12/1/2020

2020 has been a difficult year in so many ways. We have suffered with uncertainty, anxiety, isolation and challenges with our financial situation, health or relationships. One thing that can hold us together and help us get through is kindness. Although we can't change our situation, we can choose to respond to others (and ourselves) with kindness. And when we're kind, everything goes better. We help others, we help ourselves and we encourage others to be kinder too.
