It is hard to believe that another school year is about to begin. As our children finish out their last days of summer and parents gather together the supplies for the coming year, preparedness becomes a priority for families. As with all aspects of life, there are things we can prepare for and things that we can't, but what helps in the unexpected moments is to have a toolkit we can rely on to get us through the challenging moments. The students, teachers, and staff of MSD and the Parkland community will be met with the excitement of the new school year that is coupled with emotional stressors, anxiousness, and triggers, both predictable and not. It is important to affirm the tools and skills already learned and to seek sources of strength, resilience, and coping. As an organization we encourage our members to continue pursuing training and education which PU4P commits firmly to provide. We remind our members to make space for self-care - to put the oxygen mask on yourself before you are able to put it on someone else in need.
