Helping yourself to calm down and feel better when you are upset is something you can learn how to do and can practice!

Taking deep breaths is a great way to tell your body and your brain that you are safe and calm. There are other things you can do too – like squeeze a stress ball, do some jumping jacks, or talk to a friend or a pet. Here are some videos that explain what “Mental Health” means, and some videos that teach you how to make yourself feel better when you are upset or anxious.

Remember, just like anything new that you are trying to learn, you have to practice!

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.”
Fred Rogers
