Taking a moment to acknowledge your feelings is an act of self-love. Prioritize your needs, and set those boundaries. Be your own biggest supporter. Surround yourself with love and positivity. Your well-being is a priority, always.

Life's journey is filled with twists and turns, and negative thoughts can disrupt it. But remember that the moment you receive a negative thought, you have the power to put a stop to it and choose a more positive path.

A reminder to check in on the 2S/LGBTQIA people in your life. Educators and other caring adults can help 2S/LGBTQIA youth by reaching out and letting them know they aren’t alone. Checking in can make a big difference
ALT A quick text, phone call or DM can make all the difference for your 2S/LGBTQIA friends. Here are some prompts to get the conversation started: Hey, we haven’t talked in a while! Do you have time to hang out later this week? Do you want to FaceTime this week? Hey! I just wanted to check in…I know _________ can suck. How are you doing?

When I started calling parents to tell them what their kids did well, rather than always what they did wrong, my entire classroom dynamic changed for the better - and parents were happy to hear from me. 🙏🏼
