It's everything's wording and it could seem over the top with the positivity, but it's not. Our mindset right now is massively significant.
In a world where social distancing has become the norm, Jan Vizoco, a high school Student Assistance Coordinator from New Jersey, shares invaluable strategies for managing anxiety and fostering community. As we navigate these trying times, Jan offers practical advice on maintaining a positive mindset and connecting with others. The episode highlights the importance of focusing on what we can control, like reaching out to loved ones and embracing technology for social connections.
Jan discusses how the role of SAC counsellors has evolved from focusing solely on drug and alcohol issues to encompassing mental health and family dynamics. Her experiences with the Child Assault Prevention programme have equipped her with skills that are crucial in today's environment, as kids face unprecedented challenges. With schools closed and routines disrupted, Jan suggests ways to help children cope with anxiety and maintain structure in their daily lives.
Erin Lawler Patterson, known as The Goodness Chick, brings warmth and humour to the conversation, emphasising the significance of gratitude and positivity. Together, they explore creative ways to engage communities, like chalk drawings and teddy bear hunts, which keep spirits high and foster a sense of togetherness. This episode is a reminder that while we may be physically apart, our emotional connections can still flourish. It's a call to focus on relationships, both within our homes and beyond.
