Get outside! We hope you were able to talk about your emotions with someone or to even reflect upon them with yourself. Connecting your body with your mind is also a great way to destress!

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
