Health Tip of the Week
Did you know that the change of seasons could affect your mood? Seasonal depression (also known as Seasonal Affective Disorder) is caused by the change in seasons and most commonly develops in the late fall. Symptoms include feelings of sadness, lack of energy, loss of interest in usual activities, oversleeping and weight gain.
October is National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month- This observance works to bring awareness to the need for depression awareness and the need for accessible and affordable mental health screenings. A number of different factors can often come into play with depression that can include a mix of environmental, genetic, psychological, and biological /biochemical components. Not everyone experiences depression in the same way, but it can affect anyone at any time. So, it is important to take that next step and seek out professional help and be screened if you or someone you care about feels depressed. Depression is a highly treatable condition with many different options available, but a professional should be sought out to help determine the best course of action for every individual that is suffering from it.

ThoughtExchange and GCPS
What are we doing well, and what can we improve to help build relationships between students, families, staff, the district, the board, and the GCPS community as we work together to support student success in Gwinnett County Public Schools?
We need your input on building relationships within our schools and district to support student success so we can learn what’s most important to everyone as we move ahead together this school year.
We will be using your thoughts to create a prioritized list of ideas for the leadership team to determine the next steps as we head into the second quarter of this school year. We are using ThoughtExchange, so everyone has a chance to share their perspectives and understand what’s most important to our GCPS Community.
Please share your thoughts and then rate at least 20-30 of the thoughts that others have shared. Your participation is confidential, so no one will know who shared or rated which thoughts. Personal attacks on students or staff will not be published. Please come back often through Monday, October 31, to share and rate new ideas.
