PSS Mental Health

🌺 Remember:
It is okay to feel tired, emotional, or overwhelmed after a disaster. Healing is not a race. Small healthy habits each day can help us feel stronger and more connected.

💬 You are not alone.
🫶 Support is available.

Our Mental Health Program recently met with educators across the CNMI for two full-day trainings on the 7 Essential Ingredients (7EI) of Trauma-Sensitive Schools.

On November 15, 2025, 32 educators from Sinapalo Elementary School and Dr. Rita Hocog-Inos Jr./Sr. High School completed the training, followed by 28 educators from Grace Christian Academy, Golden Harvest Christian Academy, Saipan Community School, Green Meadows School, Northern Mariana International School, Saipan International School, Agape Christian School, Mt. Carmel School, and Brilliant Star School on January 24, 2026.

These sessions focused on the 7EI framework—safety, trustworthiness, collaboration, empowerment, and emotional attunement—core practices that help schools create supportive environments where all students feel understood, connected, and ready to learn.

Thank you to all participants for your openness and commitment. Your continued efforts strengthen trauma-sensitive practices across our island’s schools.

Classes and regular hours of operation resume on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

Kicked off the first week of school by visiting our middle schools — Hopwood, Chacha Oceanview, Tanapag, Francisco M. Sablan, and Dan Dan Middle School! 📚

We came by with school supplies like notebooks, pencils, and calming fidget toys to help students start the year off strong. Plus, we introduced something new: 𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺 📞 ✨ where students were invited to leave positive messages for their peers.

The best part? You’ll soon get to hear these uplifting voice messages right here on our page soon. Stay tuned! 👀
