Important news this week! |
|
Due to the Elyria Catholic Community not being able to participate in Christmas on Campus again this year due to COVID-19, we are asking for our school community to once again help with the Not Forgotten Box. Please consider donating a new, unwrapped toy to help bring joy to families in our wider community this holiday season. For each toy brought in, you will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win a $25 or $50 gift card. You may drop off your toys to Mrs. Esposito in room 106 or Ms. Lanzola in the Campus Ministry Office. The last day for toy turn in is Thursday, December 9, 2021.

Mental Health Tip of the Week:
Create calm. A teen in crisis and out of control cannot rely on reason. Your gut reaction may be to panic or go into mama/papa bear mode, but they rely on you to help them regain a sense of calm and stability. Soften your voice and use short, clear directions: “Come with me.” “Sit down.” “Take a deep breath.” “Tell me what’s going on.” Adapted from Mental Health America, "Helping at Home: Tips for Parents"

Ohio Department of Menatl Health and Addiction Services
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted our children’s behavioral health, and we know that the best place for children is in school full time. Many of you have built strong relationships with your local ADAMH boards to help connect students and their families to local community resources. Alternatively, the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services created the COVID-19 Careline – 1-800-720-9616 – where mental health professionals are available 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. They are trained to de-escalate potential crisis situations and connect callers to local providers who can offer support.
