Welcome to the RCS School Social Workers' Resource Page

We are dedicated to supporting our students' emotional and mental well-being.  When a child feels stressed and/or experiences a trauma, the whole family is effected.  Caregivers can help the child in their life by listening to them, teaching them coping skills, and other resilience-building techniques.  We have included on-line digital resources below that caregivers can access.  They include videos, on-line stories, activities, articles, printables, and crisis hotlines that caregivers can access. 

 

Please find these resources as a guide.

Feelings Chart

Print or pull up one of the linked feelings charts.  Have your child point to or talk about how s/he is feeling every morning.  You can model this by talking about how you are feeling and why.  Feel free to use these charts throughout the day as feelings change for you and/or your child.  You can also make your own feelings chart with pictures of your child's feelings.
