A
A
I
want
to
mindfully
thank
you
for
being
with
us
today.
I
encourage
you
to
just
take
a
deep
breath
in
take
a
deep
breath
out:
grab
a
drink
of
water,
take
a
comfortable
seat.
This
is
self-care
for
you
time
for
you
to
kind
of
just
take
this
all
in
and
catch
a
break.
Thank
you
for
doing
something
good
for
yourself
and
for
your
family.
A
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
why
we're
here
and
why
I
wanted
to
present
this
topic,
because
what
we
are
seeing
at
home
in
terms
of
different
behaviors,
some
behavioral
defiance
and
disrespect
ignoring
complaining,
that's
kind
of
just
what's
going
on
above
the
surface,
but
these
pandemics
have
really
had
an
impact
on
many
of
our
teenagers
and
our
children
in
terms
of
some
more
mental
health
and
emotional
impacts.
A
Like
isolation
and
loneliness
we've
seen
sleep
loss
screen,
addictions,
substance,
use,
we've
seen,
grief,
we've
had
losses,
we've
had
specific
losses
from
covid
we've
had
job
losses.
We've
had
this
thing
called
ambiguous
loss
which
is
really
just
lost
as
our
lives,
as
we
once
knew
it.
We
don't
really
know
what
our
lives
are
going
to
look
like
in
the
future,
we're
kind
of
still
reaching
that
back
to
that
state
of
normalcy,
but
it's
still
kind
of
not
like
our
lives
before.
A
We've
also
had
impacts
of
racial
stress
and
trauma,
just
with
all
of
the
encounters
with
racial
bias
and
ethnic
discrimination.
Racism
hate
crimes
that
we've
experienced
as
well
kind
of
on
top
of
all
of
this,
impacting
us,
the
virtual
learning
struggle
for
kids
was
definitely
difficult
and
we
are
still
navigating
these
new
waters
of
school
back
to
normal,
but
we're
here
to
talk
about
how
we
are
braver
than
we
ever
thought
we
were.
A
My
background
is
in
positive
psychology,
and
we
know
from
the
research
that
about
50
of
our
happiness
or
well-being
is
dependent
upon
our
genetics,
so
what
our
grandparents
and
our
parents
kind
of
bring
to
the
table.
We
know
that
40
of
our
happiness
or
well-being
is
dependent
upon
what
we
choose
to
do.
The
interventions
that
we
choose
to
implement
in
our
lives
and
the
the
strategies
that
we
use
to
boost
our
well-being
and
only
10
percent
of
our
well-being
and
happiness
is
based
on
our
life
circumstances.
A
A
But
today
we're
going
to
talk
about
something
called
post-traumatic
growth,
which
is
a
psychological
change
that
many
people
can
experience
after
a
life
crisis
or
trauma.
It
doesn't
deny
the
fact
that
we
experience
negative
emotions
like
depression
or
anxiety
or
this.
You
know
this
this
adversity
or
this
strain,
but
we
can
experience
new
possibilities
and
growth
in
the
future.
A
We're
actually
twice
as
likely
to
experience
post-traumatic
growth
as
opposed
to
ptsd,
if
we
know
about
the
possibility
of
ptsd
and
what
we
need
to
achieve
it.
So
when
I
think
about
post-traumatic
growth,
I
think
about
exercising
and
lifting
weights,
because
when
we
exercise
and
we
left
weights,
sometimes
our
muscles
are
sore
we're
actually
creating
little
tiny
tears
in
our
muscles.
But
in
the
end
it
helps
us
get
stronger.
So
it's
not
that
we're
not
experiencing
these
negative
emotions
and
these
stressful
events,
but
we
can
actually
get
stronger
from
it.
A
The
first
thing
we
want
to
do
is
make
sure
that
we
have
a
good
sleep,
routine
and
good
sleep
hygiene,
because
one
of
the
most
common
things
that
we've
observed
over
the
past
couple
of
years
with
the
pandemics
is
the
disruption
in
a
normal
sleep
habit.
So
even
12
to
18
year
olds
need
eight
and
a
half
to
nine
and
a
half
hours
of
sleep
a
night,
and
this
sleep
really
does
impact
our
ability
to
be
resilient
during
the
day,
our
physical,
it
impacts
our
physical
health.
A
It
impacts
our
mental
health,
our
ability
to
focus
in
school
to
do
well.
So
this
is
one
of
those
things
that
many
many
people
have
gotten
off
track
and
I
think
there
are
some
other
great
presentations
available
to
you
on
mindfulness
and
exercise
that
also
benefits
sleep.
I
wanted
to
throw
out
a
couple
of
my
favorite
apps
online
or
on
cell
phones
available.
One
is
called
healthy
minds,
which
is
a
free
app
for
all.
A
Our
body
is
physically
strong
from
all
that
great
nutrition
and
exercise
and
sleep.
We
can
focus
on
our
personal
strengths,
our
character,
strengths
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
research
in
this
area
about
how
all
human
beings
across
ages
races,
ethnicities
genders.
We
all
have
the
same
24
character,
strengths,
so
take
a
look
at
these
strengths
up
on
the
screen
and
think
about
what
is
your
signature
strength
which
strength
on
the
screen?
Do
you
use
regularly
that
comes
easily
to
you
that
you
get
enjoyment
out
of
when
you
use?
A
What
comes
more,
naturally
to
you?
Maybe
it's
creativity
if
you
like
creating
things
at
home,
maybe
it's
curiosity
or
love
of
learning
and
that
you
like
to
study
things
you
like
learning
new
things
reading.
Maybe
it
is
spirituality
in
your
life?
Maybe
it's
a
good
sense
of
humor
you're,
making
jokes
to
make
people
laugh
or
gratitude
finding
little
things
to
be
grateful
for
throughout
the
day.
Think
about
your
strengths
and
think
about
your
family
members
strengths.
A
You
can
kind
of
create
a
little
mental
family
strength
tree
in
your
mind
at
the
bottom
of
this
website,
you'll
see
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen.
You'll
see
a
website
via
character.org
that
has
free
strengths.
Assessments
that
you
can
take
as
an
adult
and
also
kids
can
take
it
beginning
at
age.
10.
it's
available
in
several
languages
as
well,
and
I
highly
recommend
checking
that
out
for
yourself,
because
it's
really
really
important
for
this
growth
period
to
focus
on
your
strengths.
A
We
know
that
when
you
use
your
signature
strengths,
you
can
decrease
symptoms
of
depression.
You
can
also
increase
your
academic
ability.
You
can
increase
your
productivity.
You
can
build
your
social
skills
so
having
this
new
lens
of
strength,
this
new
language
of
strengths
can
really
help
us
grow
in
order
to
use
these
to
maximize
the
outcomes.
A
We
want
to
be
aware
of
our
strengths
by
taking
the
strengths
assessment,
or
you
know,
saving
this
presentation
printing
out
this
chart
of
strengths,
and
we
want
to
try
to
use
this
language
at
home
more
often
so
exploring
how
different
family
members
use
these
different
strengths
during
different
times,
maybe
at
the
dinner
table
or
during
or
while
playing
or
on
a
sports
field
or
in
a
in
a
band
concert
or
just
in
normal
conversations
as
they
come
up
using
these
strengths
and
exploring
them
a
little
bit
more
and
then
maybe
applying
them
in
different
ways.
A
So
if
your
top
strength
is
humor,
maybe
watching
a
funny
movie
together
as
a
family
would
be
great
there's.
Actually,
if
you
look
up
character,
strengths
and
movies,
you
can
find
a
whole
list
of
movies
based
on
character,
strengths
and
signature
strengths,
so
trying
to
apply
these
strengths.
The
signature
strengths
as
much
as
possible
and
even
in
new
ways,
can
really
help
to
improve
well-being.
A
One
of
my
top
signature
strengths
is
gratitude,
which
is
a
whole
category
of
a
good
strategy
in
and
of
itself.
So
gratitude
actually
really
really
boosts
well-being.
It
increases
our
relationships,
which
is
a
big
part
of
that
post-traumatic
growth
domain.
It
increases
our
appreciation
for
life,
which
is
another
aspect
of
the
post-traumatic
growth
domains.
A
It
increases
our
health,
our
physical
strengths,
and
it
also
can
be
a
good
personal
strength
for
us
as
well
so
at
home.
You
might
want
to
do
something
simple,
like
take
a
diary
or
a
journal
and
leave
it
by
the
dinner
table
and
just
write
down
what
everyone's
grateful
for
something
small.
It
can
be
something
small
like
someone
help
me
tie
my
shoe
today,
or
I
really
liked
the
lunch
that
I
got
at
school
today.
A
So
just
keep
it
by
the
the
dinner
table
and
write
it
down
once
a
week
or
you
can
create
a
little
tree
and
add
little
gratitude
leaves
to
it
once
a
week
or
once
a
night.
Whatever
feels
right
for
you
something
else
to
focus
on
as
well
just
to
kind
of
build
those
relations.
The
relationship
with
yourself
and
also
with
your
family
members
is
self-compassion
the
ability
to
be
kind
to
yourself,
especially
under
negative
circumstances.
A
So
again
that
growth
period
doesn't
mean
we're
not
experiencing
negative
emotions.
It
can
be
helpful
to
name
it
to
tame
it,
so
state
the
emotion
that
you're
feeling,
even
if
it's
a
negative
one
and
kind
of
makes
you
feel
better,
just
to
say
it
realizing
that
we
are
not
alone,
that
mistakes
happen,
failures,
happen
and
we
can
grow
from
these
things.
A
Being
present,
one
of
the
best
ways
to
build
relationships,
those
personal
relationships
which
are
one
of
the
ptg
domains,
is
really
by
using
something
called
active,
constructive,
responding
which
is
enthusiastic
and
genuine
responses
to
someone
that
you're
talking
to
who
might
be
sharing
something
good
that
happened
from
their
day.
Just
going
back
to
that
gratitude,
the
appreciation
of
life.
A
A
These
small
exchanges
can
just
be
minutes
long,
just
no
cell
phones,
no
dishes,
no
cleaning,
no
cooking,
just
designate
two
minutes
of
time.
Just
to
ask
someone,
you
know
tell
me
what
went
well
this
week
and
then
just
to
listen
enthusiastically
and
genuinely
don't
bring
it
back
to
yourself
kind
of
that
passive
destructive
response
and
then
going
back
and
talking
about
your
day,
just
simply
listen
to
them.
We
don't
want
to
point
out
any
downsides
to
what
they're
saying
or
get
distracted
by
our
technology.
A
We
want
to
model
and
normalize
help
seeking,
so
we
want
to
really
treat
our
mental
health
like
our
physical
health.
If
we
broke
our
arm,
we
would
probably
go
to
a
doctor
to
help
get
that
fix
and
if
we
are
struggling
mentally
with
these
negative
emotions
and
we
need
to
get
more
towards
a
growth
resilience
perspective.
A
Sometimes
we
need
a
little
bit
of
help
getting
there
so
really
modelize
that
normalize
that
help
seeking
behavior
to
get
there,
and
if
you
need
help
finding
someone
to
talk
to
definitely
encourage
you
to
talk
to
your
local
school
psychologist
or
school
social
worker
or
school
counselor.
That
can
help
make
that
referral
with
you.
A
A
A
Our
lives
aren't
quite
back
to
where
they
were
so
we
want
to
make
goal
setting
something
that
we
can
do
to
look
at
future
possibilities
and,
at
the
same
time
make
these
goals
reachable.
So
this
is
one
of
my
favorite
goal-setting
strategies
called
whoop,
my
life,
it's
called
whoop
and
it
stands
for
wish
outcome
obstacle
and
plan.
I
found
this
through
dr
duckworth,
a
professor
who
studies
grit
and
growth
mindset,
so
the
power
of
yet
and
she
has
a
lab,
called
the
character
lab.org
that
has
tons
of
great
resources
for
free.
A
But
this
strategy
is
one
of
my
favorites
because
it's
simple:
it
focuses
on
some
obstacles
and
plans,
so
we're
going
to
try
it
a
little
bit
together
today.
I
want
you
to
think
about
the
strategies
that
we
talked
about
today.
We
talked
about
sleep,
we
talked
about
strengths,
we
talked
about
self
compassion.
We
talked
about
active,
constructive,
responding
and
being
present
in
our
relationships.
We
talked
about
normalizing
help
seeking
behavior
and
putting
our
mental
health
first.
A
A
A
What
would
be
the
best
outcome
or
the
best
result
from
accomplishing
your
wish?
How
would
it
make
you
feel
what
kinds
of
emotions
would
you
feel
if
you
could
implement
a
small
strategy
and
see
some
growth
and
maybe
look
at
life
with
a
little
bit
of
a
different
lens?
Despite
the
struggle
we're
going
through?
A
What
would
an
obstacle
be
our
lives
are
pretty
crazy
these
days,
what
what
is
an
obstacle
that
might
prevent
you
from
accomplishing
your
wish?
Is
it
people's
schedules
not
matching
up
or
after
school
activities
or
work
schedules?
A
A
Maybe
it's
picking
a
specific
day
of
the
week
where
schedules
are
more
aligned
or
a
couple
of
minutes
during
a
day
at
some
point
that
we
can
kind
of
work
things
out
and
shift
some
things
around,
just
to
make
a
couple
of
minutes
for
one
of
these
activities
and
if
you
want
to
just
write
these
down
or
put
them
in
your
phone.
Just
as
a
reminder
to
yourself.
