We’re offering live sessions, pre-recorded videos featuring mindful experts, resources and more. We look forward to having you join us as we highlight this important topic and remind you that it’s ok to not always be ok. You’re not alone.

Exercise provides many physical benefits, but what impact does it have on mental health? When we exercise, our bodies release endorphins that minimize discomfort and create a sense of euphoria. Exercise also develops thicker, stronger connections between neurons in our brains, making us sharper, faster and better processors.
Our wellness specialists have put together classes with your mental health top of mind. Join Alexis Strizziere for yoga, meditation and a breath work workshop. Then, join the Slainte Fitness team for topics like mindfulness, stress management, self-care and more.

How to Check In With Your Child
Set aside time to talk: 15 minutes or longer is recommended. Get rid of distractions. This time is just about checking in. Avoid phones, tablets and television.
Ask open-ended questions: Start a discussion by asking, “What went well today?” and “What could have gone better?”
Listen: Let them express their ideas fully before you respond.
Come up with solutions together: Help them come up with ideas for how to make the next day better, or identify someone who can help, like a therapist, a doctor or a pastor.
Schedule time for your next check-in: Be sure to create a routine for check-ins, whether it’s daily, weekly or monthly.
