National School Counseling Week- Day 1

February 6, 2023 by Artia Thomas

Good morning. This is the DVC counseling team and today is the first day of National School Counseling Week. The theme of this year’s week is “School
Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big.” Did you know that my number one goal, as a school counselor, is to help you succeed?
Whatever you need to be successful at school – whether that’s learning how to stay motivated to complete your work, having positive relationships with your fellow students, advocating for yourself, or overcoming barriers – we are here for it. You’ve probably heard of actor and producer Tyler Perry. He said, “I don’t think the dreams die. I think people give up. I think it gets too hard.” Sometimes achieving your dreams is hard, but we are here to help you not give up.
As your school counselor, we want to help you achieve your dreams. What are your dreams? How can we help you make a plan to achieve them? Let’s talk about it. Have a great Monday!

Your DVC counseling team!

Suicide Prevention Week Challenge #3: Make a list of trusted contacts.

September 8, 2022 by Artia Thomas

It’s not too late to join the Take Action for Suicide Prevention Challenge. To get started review this attached flyer and download the challenge card!

Daily Challenge #3: Make a list of trusted contacts.

 

Having a strong social support network is a crucial element to thriving, but when in crisis it can be hard to think of who to reach out to. You may be feeling alone in your distress, or afraid to share thoughts of suicide with someone else. Making a list of safe and trusted contacts ahead of time is a reminder that you are not alone when you need help the most.

 

Write down three or more contacts and the easiest way to reach them. These can be friends, family members, or providers. Be sure to include at least one crisis line or warm line that is available 24/7. Place the list in a safe place near (or on) your phone or highlight the contacts on your phone with a special photo or image. 

 

If you or someone you know needs help, please know that you are not alone. Crisis lines, counselors, intervention programs, and more are available to you, whether you are in crisis yourself or concerned about someone else.
