☀️ Summer Wellness Series: Social Media and Mental Health
Did you know? Those who spend more than 3 hours a day on social media are twice as likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression. Recent surveys show teens average about 3.5 hours per day on social media.
Families can support healthy habits by creating tech-free zones, encouraging face-to-face connections, modeling responsible online behavior, and discussing digital safety.. ☀️

☀️ Summer Wellness Series: Keep a Routine!
It is helpful for everyone, children and adolescents, as well as adults, to have a routine and to allocate time to a variety of activities. Create a plan that centers on being healthy and connected. A daily schedule doesn’t always have to look the same. Be flexible and give yourself something to look forward to each day: get outside, connect with family and friends, make time for yourself, make time for fun, and especially create moments of joy throughout the day. ☀️
THURSDAY June 25th is our first weekly meal kit drive-thru distribution day of the summer!

Summer EBT Benefits are Coming!
Vermont is issuing Summer EBT benefits starting in June. Most children who are eligible will receive the $120 benefit automatically. Benefits can be used to buy food at grocery stores, farmer’s markets, and online where EBT cards are accepted.
The Vermont Department for Children and Families will send you a letter if your family will get the benefit automatically. If you already have an EBT card, the benefits will be added to that card. If you need a replacement card, you can call 1-888-354-0012 (Option 7). If you think you qualify, but you do not receive a letter by July, please visit https://summerebt.vermont.gov/ to submit a short application. Summer EBT benefits do not affect your immigration status.
🏖️ Good hygiene doesn’t stop during summer. Regular handwashing, bathing, and clean clothing help students stay healthy while enjoying summer activities.
