After many months, it is exciting to have students back into school buildings full time.
I would like to acknowledge that with this excitement may also come anxiety and trepidation.
While the desire to get back to "normal" is real, we are also coming up against our own stressors and new challenges.
The Oregon Department of Education has released the Ready Schools, Safe Learners Resiliency Framework for the 2021/22 School Year.
This framework specifically discusses the need for mental health supports and identifies four pillars of practice, including, "1) trauma informed care, 2) social emotional learning, 3) racial equity, and 4) strengths-based, culturally relevant prevention and intervention programs within a system of care."
