Recommendations Sought for Stress Relieving Activities
The Student Services DeStress Team is building a Bitmoji resource page with videos, apps and activities that students recommend for reducing stress. Their hope is to create resources for students, families, and staff to refer to in the coming weeks and months to engage in healthy self-care practices.
If you have a favorite app or video that helps you relax or a favorite recipe, craft, or activity that you would like to share with the SHS community, please share it using this submission form. They would especially appreciate photos or videos of people using the activities they recommend to include on their resource page.
