High School Health and Wellness

How you feel can affect your ability to carry out everyday activities, your relationships, and your overall mental health. How you react to your experiences and feelings can change over time. Emotional wellness is the ability to successfully handle life’s stresses and adapt to change and difficult times.

How are you really feeling?

  • Feeling content most of the time
  • Feeling you have a strong support network i.e. people in your life that care about you
  • Being able to relax

Check in with your emotional wellness: 

  • Do you see stress as something you can learn from or something to avoid?
  • Are you aware of you bodily sensations, emotions, and behaviors when you are stressed?
  • Do you allow yourself to experience emotions, just as they are? 
  • How do you care for yourself on a daily basis?
  • Are you able to ask for help when you need it?
