YES Prep Northside Secondary

This month’s Wellness Wednesday theme is strategies for effective stress management as we wrap up the school year.

The final days of school can feel exciting, overwhelming and exhausting all at once. Taking care of your mental wellness is important during times of transition and change.

Here are a few strategies to help manage stress:
🧠 Identify what may be causing stress and give yourself time to reflect
🎧 Make time for activities that help you recharge and relax
🚶 Build healthy habits through movement, rest and balanced meals
💬 Reach out for support when things start to feel overwhelming

As summer begins, remember to slow down, reset and make space for rest. Small steps can make a big difference.

This week, seniors across YES Prep are preparing to walk the stage and celebrate a milestone, years in the making. The Class of 2026 is ready for what comes next. 💙

Families, friends, alumni, and supporters are invited to celebrate alongside our graduates by tuning into this year’s commencement ceremonies live.
