New This Week on #KEYLife
From Key's Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion This week we highlight Jewish American Heritage Month. In 2006, President George W. Bush proclaimed that May would be Jewish American Heritage Month, recognizing over three centuries of Jewish contributions to American culture. The month of May was chosen due to the highly successful celebration of the 350th Anniversary of American Jewish History in May 2004.
The following resources provide some insight in Jewish-American life and diverse stories of aspiration, resilience and determination:
Counselors' Corner We encourage everyone to think about the importance of self-care for adults/parents during this time. Many, if not most, of the things that we once did to care for ourselves have been closed or cancelled. We are all facing an unprecedented level of stress and very little time to take a break to prioritize self-care. Taking care of ourselves mentally, emotionally and physically has tremendous benefits and allows us to be more available to care for those around us, as this article shows.
Self-care does not have to be fancy or elaborate or expensive. We encourage you to think simply and reconnect with things that make you happy. Go for a walk, color, cook something, spend ten minutes alone focusing on taking deep breaths, make a list of five things you are grateful for each day...you get the idea. When you take care of you, you are better able to care for those around you.
If you have small children at home who need some tips on self-care, this article has something for them.
From Key's Health Office Here are some tips from the American Heart Association on "How to Move More Anytime Anywhere." They say that every minute you move counts toward the goal of at least 150 minutes per week of exercise. Every time you stand up and do something, you're taking a step in the right direction.
An evolving resource for the Key community, providing links to information from our counselors, faculty and outside agencies we feel can be helpful to our families.
