The Be Time Bus stopped by HHH! 250 students received 15 minutes of meditation thanks to TSVF! Meditation is a practice to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. #tsvf #thesophiavalsamosfoundation #meditation #togetherwewillmakeadifference https://www.instagram.com/p/Byxg0NfHy8J/?igshid=1biazpsf8mgz5

#TopicTuesday #Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (#ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an estimated 1 in 59 children in the United States today. We know that there is not one autism but many subtypes, most influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Because autism is a spectrum disorder, each person with autism has a distinct set of strengths and challenges. The ways in which people with autism learn, think and problem-solve can range from highly skilled to severely challenged. Some people with ASD may require significant support in their daily lives, while others may need less support and, in some cases, live entirely independently.

#TopicTuesday – What is Mental Health? Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Life experiences such as trauma, abuse or family history of mental disorders can contribute to mental health problems. Source: U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. If you feel you have mental health disorders talk to your doctor, guidance counselor or parent to help you. Don’t be afraid to speak up! #tsvf #thesophiavalsamosfoundation #beyou #togetherwewillmakeadifference #loveyourself #loveothers #bekind #encouragingouryouth #gethelp #mentalhealth #youarenotalone https://www.instagram.com/thesophiavalsamosfoundation/p/Bu62EWlAfBc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sohuti3una86

#FactFriday – Did you know that The Sophia Valsamos Foundation has donated almost 50 book packages, through our Social & Emotional Learning Book Program, to local schools on Long Island and the Tri-State area in the last 6 months? The purpose of this program is to spread the concepts of social and emotional learning to classrooms and schools across Long Island and the tri-state area. We will achieve our objective by donating a collection of books we selected to teachers, school counselors and school social workers. These books cover kindness, confidence, empathy and anti-bullying. We could not have done this without our donors, so thank you for supporting our foundation! For more information, or to find out how you can help, please visit our website at www.tsvf.org “Together We Will Make A Difference” #tsvf #thesophiavalsamosfoundation #beyou #togetherwewillmakeadifference #loveyourself #loveothers #bekind #encouragingouryouth https://www.instagram.com/thesophiavalsamosfoundation/p/Buv9sHigOW9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v4djobijz56a
