| Abstract: | This year for National School Psychology Awareness Week, November 12-16, 2012, the authors urge their school psychologist colleagues across the country to help their students and the colleagues that they support to discover and celebrate their individual strengths. Whether strengths are academic, athletic, or social, they serve to bolster an individual's resilience in the face of stress. Helping others harness their individual strengths can have unlimited benefits such as boosting stress tolerance, improving academic performance, increasing life satisfaction, and even augmenting self confidence. In addition, this is an opportune time to remind themselves of their own personal and professional strengths to help them become more resilient school psychologists. Helping their students, colleagues, and themselves focus on their strengths is at the heart of the School Psychology Awareness Week theme, "Know Your Own Strengths: Discover Them. Share Them. Celebrate Them." Anchored around the poster theme and images, the strengths program involves a series of resources and activities that school psychologists can use to reach out to school staff, students, and parents to help students achieve their individual goals. The authors also encourage school psychologists to reflect on their own strengths and how they will tap into them throughout the year. |
