🇮🇹 ITALIAN MAN SPEAKS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY TO AMERICANS
"Guys let me explain to you how Italian culture works, which is one thing I don't know why they don't teach you in America.
And this is probably why you have one of the highest depression rates in the world.
In Italy, we have something that we call societal welfare. Social Welfare. Aka every single person has a network of people that help each other out on different levels.
You have psychological problems, you always have someone to talk to."

Every single child in #Gaza is now carryng intense childhood trauma. Every single one. The entire population.
Dysregulated, fearful, grievng children easily grow into dysregulated, angry adults. Destruction cycles through another generation.
*Nothing* is ended w/ these attacks.

IMPORTANT study finds ON is lagging behind other provinces when it comes to affordable child care!
Even Min Lecce admits we need to pay ECEs more in order to address the staffing crisis. So what on earth is he waiting for? 🤔 #OnPoli #OntEd #InvestInCare

There is no #OntEd “Grade 6 Science textbook” or “Grade 4 Social Studies textbook”. Everything your child is learning in public elementary school was likely created, found, or purchased by their teacher. And if they’re in French Immersion, it was also translated by their teacher.

World events, especially tragedies, can be difficult to process. And being overwhelmed with information on social media can make it even more challenging. Show yourself compassion and allow time to work through any grief or anxiety. If you're struggling, support is available:

“Much might be said about the need for stability in schools in these upcoming weeks … future stability, however, requires the govt to provide the resources necessary to ensure schools are staffed by qualified teachers & education workers." #OntEd #OnPoli

6 tips to reduce stress of staff.
1) If you ask to meet with staff member, let them know why.
2) Don't address an issue you have with one person with the whole staff.
3) Praise a lot more than you critique
4) Fewer meetings
5) More encouragement/support
6) Encourage self care

While SEL and mental health are not the same, SEL can promote positive mental health in many ways.
➡️ Read @educationweek's article discussing creating “Zen Dens” in schools to promote mental health: edweek.org/leadership/zen-de…
➡️ Then, check out our resource on how to set up comparable “Peace Rooms” in a high school setting here: schoolguide.casel.org/resour…
