The Calming Room

We are navigating uncharted territory, and many things may still feel uncertain. The SCUSD Student Support & Health Services Department wants you to know this:

Your feelings are valid, all of them.

You may feel scared, confused, overwhelmed, angry, lonely, grateful, calm — or a mix of everything at once.
You might feel disappointed that an event was canceled, yet relieved to enjoy a quiet day at home.

Your feelings are normal. The situation is not.
Take a moment. Don’t forget to breathe.
