Feeling safe, well, and connected to others is necessary in order for your brain to learn. Physical and Mental Wellness includes the positive things you can benefit from all the time, including during class as well as times when you are having problems and need more help.
If you are dealing with some really difficult things and don’t feel comfortable reaching out to your family, teacher, or counselor, there is always somewhere to turn for help.
