Here is our first long weekend activity! Feelings are good but let's work on feeling better if you aren't. Learning various strategies to control our emotions is important but also being consistent with our strategies is just as important. Being mindful is a skill that takes practice...and like all things....practice makes perfect. Check out this video from Ms. Amelse, our certified Breathe for Change Instructor. #BrookwoodsBest https://tinyurl.com/sn5guny

We wanted to let our families know that Brookwood Schools is continuing to partner with PSG and offering our students and families virtual-based mental health services. These services can benefit students who may be in need of additional support to work through social or emotional concerns. PSG staff members will work with families to set up and provide counseling for individuals or families. All providers are licensed by the State of Wisconsin and are trained in Trauma Informed Care. Brookwood Schools are committed to removing barriers so that our students have every opportunity to have their needs met and to succeed in our community and beyond. If you are interested in your child receiving these services, please contact either Kalyn Obry (BMS) or April Fitzsimmons (BES). In addition, PSG will be offering virtual support webinars to our Brookwood families. More information on this will be coming soon. https://tinyurl.com/r4c9sa4

Wow, TAKE YOUR PET TO SCHOOL DAY was a hit! Too bad we can't really take our pets to school. It would make the day interesting that's for sure. We are excited to see what you all have planned for Wellness Wednesday tomorrow. Try taking a picture of you doing something that is healthy for your mind, body or spirit. Take a walk, do something creative, prepare a healthy snack... whatever makes you happy and healthy. Remember, we are all in this together and it has been so fun seeing your posts. Great job Mustangs! #BrookwoodsBest
