Social-Emotional Resources for Families

March 16, 2020Afton LambsonSchool News

District Mental Health Statement

Updated resources April 15th

Spring Lane Elementary Counseling Center
 
Dear Parents/Guardians, 
Due to the sudden school dismissal, we understand that many students who receive support from our school’s counseling center will no longer be able to receive these supports face-to-face. To mediate these concerns, we have included lists of apps and resources many families find helpful for addressing various needs. At this time, we will also remain available via phone and email during normal school hours. If you are faced with a mental health related emergency, please call 911. 

Ms. Lisa Dickman – Social Worker

Additional thoughts and suggestions:

To promote peace and well-being we would also suggest considering taking time to unplug from phones, tablet, devices, etc.; turning the television off; and simply spending time together to play with your kids, play games, tell stories, read books, talk about feelings, and listening to one and other, or anything else that helps you connect as a family.

Crisis Resources

Please call UNI Mobile at 801-587-3000 for crisis counseling and 24/7 help. Parents can call to access support for their children and/or for themselves as well.

SAFE UT APP can also be downloaded to your parent or children’s smart phones. Either parents or children can text and talk with counselors immediately and obtain support/guidance or refer others who they know are in need of support in their families or in our communities.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES                                                   

INTERNET ACCESS to Support Learning and School Communication 

As the country deals with the effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), Comcast is taking immediate steps to help connect more low-income families to the Internet at home. Effective Monday, March 16, 2020, new Internet Essentials customers will receive two free months of Internet service. We are also increasing the speed of the program to 25 Mbps downloads, and 3 Mbps uploads for all new and existing customers. 

 After your first two free months expire, you can either cancel the service (which you can do at any time) or keep it as a regular paying Internet Essentials customer. You will receive an easy to use self-install-kit that includes a cable modem (to receive service at your home) with a WiFi router (to connect your devices without wires). There is no term contract or credit check and no shipping fee for equipment. (https://www.internetessentials.com/covid19)
