Yesterday’s conviction of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd was truly an important and historic moment. We at MTCS are thinking of you, and know it may be difficult being away from the community and in Distance Learning right now. It is a complex time, and along with celebrating the results of the trial, we continue to witness acts of violence against black lives.

You and your family are part of the MTCS community, and we want you to know we are here to support you.

Take care of yourself right now. When we care for ourselves and take the time to listen to how we feel and what we need, when we reach out for support, when we share our thoughts—we can heal and feel stronger. We hope the ideas in this resource will help you stay strong and healthy.

You are not alone. We are here for you.
