Mental Health Minute: Anxiety

We are entering the 'academic burnout' phase of the year. Students and educators may be feeling mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. Spring break can provide a needed respite, but it may be important to recognize increasing signs of stress in your student. According to the 2022 MN Student Data Survey, 50% of 8th graders and 59% of 11th graders reported feeling bothered by not being able to stop or control worrying over the previous 2 weeks. We will focus on anxiety in this month's Mental Health Minute. You will learn to recognize anxiety, understand the contributing factors, and provide some guidance on how to help.

Losing someone that you love or care deeply about is very painful. You might have a lot of emotions and it may feel like the pain and sadness you’re experiencing will never go away. These are normal reactions to a loss.

While there is no right or wrong way to cope with losing someone, there are healthy ways that, in

time, can renew you and help you move forward. These resources can help you work through your grief. It’s a sign of strength, not weakness, to seek help.

Click HERE to access a list of grief and loss support resources in Dakota County.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Sometimes it can be hard to figure out how to work through challenging times. At the Eastview High School, we have a Virtual Calming Room to help students explore strategies to help deal with those challenges. We hope these tools will provide helpful outlets and practice for when life gets tough.
