The Mental Health Minute

Providing mental health information, resources and self-care tips!

Join us in celebrating National School Psychology Week (NSPW), November 9-13, 2026 and recognizing the incredible contributions of our Cy-Fair ISD School Psychologists! This year’s theme, “Inspire Connection,” highlights the meaningful relationships school psychologists build to support students, strengthen collaboration, and foster positive school communities.

Pictured below are some of our amazing Cy-Fair ISD School Psychologists and support staff who make a difference every day through their dedication, compassion, and commitment to our school community.

Thank you for all you do!

Join us on Wednesday, December 2, 2026 at the Berry Center for the CFISD Mental Health & Wellness Fair! Connect with local mental health providers, explore valuable community resources, and enjoy student-led exhibits highlighting mental health and wellness. We look forward to bringing our CFISD community together to promote mental health awareness and well-being!

As we enter a season of gratitude and giving, World Kindness Day on November 13 reminds us of the positive impact that kindness can have on our mental health and well-being. Simple acts of kindness, such as offering encouragement, expressing appreciation, or helping someone in need, can strengthen relationships, foster connection, and promote a sense of belonging.

Practicing kindness and gratitude can also help reduce stress, encourage positive emotions, and support emotional well-being. As we move through this season, take a moment to reflect on what you are thankful for and find meaningful ways to share kindness with others.

Grief can affect children in different ways, influencing their emotions, behaviors, relationships, and overall well-being. The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) provides valuable resources to help families and educators understand childhood traumatic grief, recognize signs of distress, and support children as they cope with loss. Through compassionate conversations, reassurance, and supportive relationships, we can help children navigate grief and foster emotional healing.

Our amazing CFISD schools continue to make a positive impact through meaningful events and activities that promote wellness, connection, and community engagement! We are excited to highlight just a few of the wonderful things happening across our district.

A special thank you to CFISD Police Department, Jersey Village HS, CyPark HS and CyLakes HS who served as collection stations to support October’s DEA National Drug Take Back Day! With our community’s support, CFISD collected over 500 pounds of expired and unused medications, helping keep our families and communities safe. Thank you for making a difference!
