RBHS Kindness Challenge for September (from Outreach Counselor, Lesley Thalhuber, LPC)
: Our school community benefits from each of us doing our part to be kind to one another. Throughout the school year, I will offer many challenges in which our whole school can participate. For the month of September, I'd like to challenge us all to Look Around: See Something, DO Something not only because it's just plain civil to look out for each other but also because, September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness month. There are things both little and big you can do if you notice someone needs help. To learn about specific things you can do or say, please check out the info-sheet below
and consider taking the 20 minute training on how to be a peer support for those around you.
