How To Make Stress Your Friend
Kelly McGonigal TED Talk Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psychologist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others.

My Stroke Of Insight
Jill Bolte Taylor TED Talk
Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

The Repair Of Early Trauma: A Bottom Up Approach
By Beacon House & Dr. Bruce Perry
Told to us through the voices of children, this unique animation teaches us that by putting together the seven-piece jigsaw puzzle of 'Developmental Trauma', we can understand how a child’s adverse childhood experiences have shaped their emotional world and outward behaviour. Once we understand this, we can then work with a child to help them with their developmental trauma using an innovative therapeutic approach called the ‘Neuro-Sequential Model of Therapeutics’. This model recovers and repairs each part of a child’s brain in a specific, phased and effective order.

As seniors at Jenks High School approached graduation and the end of their JPS journey, many of them took the time to personally thank a former or current teacher for the influence and impact those teachers had on their success as a student, and as a person. Get the tissues ready.
As you watch the video, please notice what types of things the students are most grateful for that their teachers showed/provided/taught them. |
Students in Danvers are holding up a mirror to their peers with a simple message: you matter. They've taken more than 1000 pictures of students, teachers and staff.
