DIS focuses on mental health coping strategies

Posted on: Apr 1, 2024

During March, students at Delano Intermediate focused on learning about the importance of Mental Health. Students learned and practiced various coping strategies through a school-wide game of Coping Skills Bingo! Strategies such as focused breathing, mindfulness, movement, journaling, art, positive self-talk, grounding 54321, and gratitude were practiced.

The school hopes that students can use these strategies to navigate stressful or challenging situations with a bit more ease and comfort. Students also participated in a poster creation project with their homeroom classes, highlighting the theme of Mental Health is...using words, pictures, colors, and other elements.
