Writer and therapist Lisa Olivera once said, “Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you, doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.”

Healthy relationships and strong connections are essential to everyone’s health and wellness. As we begin the new school year, each student and parent could benefit from intentional efforts to deepen connections. We don’t know what lies ahead this year, but we know with certainty that none of us can get through life alone.

This is a great time of year to reach out to a friend with whom you have lost touch or to make an effort to form new connections and friendships.

If you are unsure where to turn for connection, healing, and support, the 988 crisis line can be called 24/7. In addition to this resource, Jordan District schools are full of caring professionals who are ready to support you and your student.

We look forward to building healing connections with you throughout the school year!
