Environmental Wellness In and Out of the Classroom
- Weather permitting have class/study groups outside
- Only print documents when necessary
- Normalize self-care in the classroom – allow students to step out of class without asking (restroom breaks, water refill, content is triggering or upsetting) – this normalizes leaving and does not stigmatize a student
- Regular Wellness Walks
