H.a.l.t. coping skill and app of the week

There is a basic acronym everyone can learn as a way of managing their mental health when emotions become too overwhelming.  When your brain is working overtime and you are becoming anxious or frustrated, use the HALT method to mindfully be checking your basic needs. 

Hungry: This could be either a physical or an emotional need. Are you eating often enough and eating the right things?  Are you “hungry” for an emotional need?⁠

Angry: Although anger is a healthy and normal emotion to experience, it’s important to understand what’s causing it so you can properly express it.⁠

Loneliness: You can still feel lonely while surrounded by large numbers of people. Instead of making a bad decision because you’re lonely, reach out to someone.⁠

Tired: Operating on low energy affects your ability to think and cope. Are you giving yourself enough time to rest and recharge?⁠ 

APP of the WEEK:  Stop, Breathe & Think
For Apple and Android.  Check in with how you're feeling, and try short activities tuned to your emotions.  Mrs. Grotzky's (your school social worker) new personal fav.  Be well, be safe and be kind, NUAMES Nighthawks.

tips to stay physically and mentally healthy

Hey NUAMES Nighthawks and Families!  We are on week 2 of online school and you are doing great!  Don't forget to take time to stay Physically active during this time. Even though we are practicing "Social Distancing" there are so many things that we can do in our homes, and outside and in nature to keep our bodies and minds healthy and safe.  Taking at least 30-60 minutes a day to be physically active, releases the Happy Hormones (Endorphins, Dopamine, Serotonin) in your body that not only boosts our physical wellness but supports our mental health so we can manage stress, anxiety and keep our immune systems strong.  Check out these resources to help you stay physically and mentally fit this week.  Together we can do this! :)

Dear Students, Guardians and Staff,

In the interest of giving you ways to manage stress in the current times we are facing, I would like to share this resource with you.  There are many resource links within the resource to support you and the ones you care for and care about.  

​Coping with Stress

Reach out to each other and support one another.  Be kind to yourself by practicing self-care and connected "social distancing."  Remember to focus on "what's important now."  

Be well and safe, NUAMES family!

Stephanie Grotzky, NUAMES School Social Worker

Students, Guardians and Staff;

Stephanie Grotzky, your School Social Worker here.  I hope you are all well and safe.   

I wanted to share this audio mediation with you today.  This mediation is 5 minutes and 47 seconds.  Allow yourself to stop and take several moments to feel more calm by noticing and experiencing things as they are, without reacting to or judging them.  Please use this audio whenever you are feeling anxiety or stress about events going on in your life or around you.  

Engaging Your Senses Meditation​

Remember, I am available to you for any reason.  If you need to talk, I will listen.  I am holding open office hours on Friday, March 20th from 9 am to 2 pm.  Please email me at sgrotzky@dsdmail.com to arrange a time to talk.  I am happy to talk over the email listed above or stephaniegrotzkky@weber.edu, via ZOOM conference, Google Hangouts, or phone 385-240-0880.
