Helping Students Manage Challenging Feelings & Challenging Times

It’s been a turbulent year, and our social, emotional, and mental health have been impacted. For the children and youth in our community, there have been additional stressors in having to adapt to remote learning and being distanced from friends.

Redwood Credit Union is committed to helping our communities stay emotionally healthy through this challenging time, so we partnered with author and social/emotional learning expert Jennifer Miller, M.Ed, and the long-standing, local mental health nonprofit NAMI Sonoma County to produce video resources. The videos are designed to help children and youth, and their support networks, understand their emotions so they can make good choices and communicate well with others. Spanish subtitles are available for each video.

Kindergarten - 2^nd Grade

3^rd Grade - 5^th Grade

6^th Grade - 8^th Grade
