Counseling Department Notes from Counselor Jennifer Corry Nurturing Mental and Emotional Well‑Being During Lent Lent often invites meaningful reflection, discipline, and personal growth. But as we take on sacrifices or new habits, it's important to remember that spiritual commitments shouldn't come at the cost of emotional strain. A balanced approach can help: -
Maintain realistic expectations for your Lenten commitments -
Practice self-compassion when challenges arise -
Include activities that replenish your emotional energy, such as quiet reflection or time in nature -
Seek connection with others for support and encouragement -
Pay attention to your inner state and adjust your practices if they begin to feel overwhelming Honoring mental health during Lent isn't a sign of weakness—it's a way of ensuring that the season remains meaningful, constructive, and spiritually enriching.  Counselor's Tip for Parents & Guardians
Helping kids manage stress during busy months: -
Encourage a consistent routine (sleep, meals, homework time). -
Model positive coping (talk, take breaks, breathe). -
Remind children that mistakes are part of learning—growth comes from effort! "Remember, a little encouragement can make a big difference. Let's keep building a caring school community together!"
