“Well I know what you were thinking
You thought you’d watch me fade away, away
When you broke me into pieces
But I gave each piece a name, a name

One of me is wiser
One of me is stronger
One of me’s a fighter
And there’s a thousand faces of me
And we’re gonna rise up
Yeah we’re gonna rise up
For every time you wronged me
Well you’re gonna face an army, army of me”

About Restraint & Seclusion

Students deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and those with challenging behavior, which can include children with disabilities, should be treated with the same respect and dignity that everyone is entitled to. Yet students across the U.S. remain at risk of being subjected to traumatic, dangerous and dehumanizing procedures, referred collectively as restraint and seclusion, as a means of managing challenging behavior in school.

We encourage you to visit the resources section of this website for a deeper understanding of restraint and seclusion, and the wealth of information available on this subject. On this page we’ll provide an overview of restraint and seclusion, and why these practices should be eliminated from use in our schools…

7 Key Insights on Self Love

onlinecounsellingcollege:

1. I need to affirm and to validate myself as it’s hard to accept validation from others if, deep down inside, I don’t believe it’s true.
2. My time is valuable as anybody else’s so I need to prioritise what I need to do.
3. I can’t give to others, and help to build them up, if I’m not taking care of my own self first.
4. I need to remember that I’m worthy of love, of success, opportunities, and knowing happiness.
5. My opinions are as valuable as anybody else’s. It’s up to me to decide and to choose my own beliefs.
6. I don’t have to explain why I do what I do (unless you’re the police or have some authority!)
7. My past does not define me – I’m free to change and grow, to try on different “me”s, and to set inspiring goals.
