  • Coping with COVID-19 UPDATED:  The Recording

    The counseling department has released a recorded version of our Coping with Covid Lesson delivered in all health classes at the beginning of the year.  Although the original lesson was intended to address COVID-19 only, much of the lesson can be used for other aspects of our lives and the world in which we live.  We have updated the lesson to reflect these other uses.  Access to the slideshow, recording, and accompanying handbook are available HERE.
