Wellness Corner: Election Anxiety
We are less than a week away from election day, and many students are feeling nervous about it. Surveys tell us that more than half of Americans find the elections to be a source of significant stress, and teenagers are no exception. A constant stream of news updates and social media is known to increase that level of stress.
So what can we do?
- Help your teen limit their daily "consumption” of news and opinions—set phone time limits and remove news notifications. Turning to one trusted source per day can be a good option.
- Remind them that life will go on no matter the outcome, and help provide reassurance.
- Encourage your student to attend our Wellness Meeting, which takes place Tuesdays at 2:30 pm, and is open to all. The link is in their counseling newsletter. We have more strategies for them and a place to talk it out!
Elizabeth Heuser, Wellness Counselor
