Mental & Social Health in Middle School - S3 E11

<p><strong>The crucial meeting point between mental and social health!</strong><br> How does cognitive and emotional wellness influence the interactions with family, friends, and society? And vice versa?</p> <p>This week our hosts Tami and David have a conversation with classmates Aimee and Lucas. Their discussion focuses on coping through the COVID pandemic, what is currently influencing emotional well-being in teens, how students are maintaining social interactions, if schools and Health Classes help, and recommendations to fellow middle schoolers on how to stay mentally healthy going into the new year.</p> <p><strong>RESOURCES<br> </strong>Mental Health:<strong><br> </strong><a href="https://www.mentalhealth.gov/"><strong>MentalHealth.gov</strong></a><strong> </strong>Let's Talk About It<strong><br> </strong><a href="https://www.who.int/mental_health/en/"><strong>World Health Organization (WHO)</strong></a><strong> </strong>Self-Care and Self-Help<strong><br> </strong><a href="https://www.nami.org/Find-Support/NAMI-HelpLine/Top-HelpLine-Resources"><strong>National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI)</strong></a><strong> </strong>Top HelpLine Resources<strong><br> </strong><a href="https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/"><strong>National Suicide Prevention Lifeline</strong></a><strong> </strong>1-800-273-8255<strong><br> </strong><a href="https://www.drdansiegel.com/resources/healthy_mind_platter/"><strong>Health Mind Platter</strong></a><strong> </strong>Essential Brain Activities</p> <p>Social Health:<br> <a href="https://www.newportacademy.com/resources/empowering-teens/teens-coping-skills-socializing-relationships-substance-use/">Teens and Socializing: Relationships, Coping Skills, Substances</a> from Newport Academy<br> <a href="https://www.today.com/health/more-just-friday-night-fun-socially-active-teens-are-physically-t65136">Socially Active Teens are Physically Healthier</a> from Today<br> <a href="https://casel.org/">Social &amp; Emotional Learning Competencies</a> from CASEL</p> <p>Teaching insight, blo
