Me Day Monday Welcome to the start of Chill Week, created and sponsored by the CTC School Partnership and your school’s Chill Champion leaders. CTC is a free, online, teen mental well-being program offered by Allina Health. The Partnership supports school-wide efforts to create and nurture a culture of mental well-being among students and staff. Chill Week is the grand kickoff to the School Partnership and was designed by students to help bring awareness to CTC and some mental well-being topics. Today is “Me Day” Monday – focused on learning a bit more about CTC as well as an opportunity to practice self-care and mindfulness. Mindfulness, the foundation of CTC, is the act of bringing awareness to the present moment by acknowledging and accepting thoughts, feelings and sensations in the body. By practicing general awareness you can connect to the present moment, slowing down your thoughts and, ultimately, calming your body and brain. Here is an introductory video about the Chill to Chill website: https://youtu.be/R7S_WVQ0LRo — Here is a short video about mindfulness practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y-03SlTmRI and this link will provide more information about mindfulness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHuK0oJMAzY Finally, don’t forget to #ChillWeek if you post your self care or mindfulness activity on social.
