Resources for Working From Home During Social Isolation

3/30/2020

0 Comments

 
You may be working from home during this time of social isolation and distancing. Finding a balance and routine may be difficult, especially if you have kids at home. The most important thing to remember when working from home is that it's normal to feel distracted at first. Our homes are fit for us to live in, not necessarily work from, so it's important to find those distractions and manage them as best as you can. If you are an educator teaching from home, the last link takes you to a page with lots of resources for online and offline educational resources for K-12 students.

Here are some resources that you may find helpful:
23 Essential Tips for Working Remotely
8 Tips To Make Working From Home Work For You
How to Work From Home With Kids
Teaching Through Coronavirus: What Educators Need Right Now

Thank you for reading! We hope you are safe & healthy.

Stress Management During COVID-19 Isolation

3/19/2020

0 Comments

 
Our team at ACE wants to share resources during this difficult time. You and your loved ones may be experiencing anxiety or stress, and that's a normal reaction to social isolation and big changes such as finances, temporarily losing your job, or being home from school.

The first thing to remember is that there are many resources in your community that can help you get through this period. If you have temporarily lost your job in Birmingham, Alabama, you can apply on BhamStrong.com to apply for temporary jobs in the community. Food banks are still open during the statewide emergencies. 

The second thing to remember is to breathe. Breathing calms our brain and is especially needed during this time when our minds our racing about what will happen next. Below are Mindfulness resources for you, your children, or your students.
Free Online Mindfulness Classes for Kids
​Meditation Tips to Help Combat COVID-19 Anxiety
​Mindfulness Practices and Videos for Educators

The last thing to remember is to take your mental health seriously. Take care of not just your physical self, but also your mental self. Reducing stress can also reduce your chances of getting sick. The body under stress can have a lower immune response. Taking care of your stress can better your immune system. Below are some articles that can help you with stress management.
Take Care of Anxiety
CDC Manage Stress and Anxiety
10 Apps to Help You Deal with Stress and Anxiety
​

Thank you for reading! We will be posting a weekly blog post with SEL resources, mindfulness practices, stress management, and educational resources. Sign up for our newsletter here to get these resources sent straight to your inbox.
